TRAIN TOGETHER - COMPETE TOGETHER - HAVE FUN TOGETHER
Training is run all year round, at the Club Field in the Spring and Summer months, and at Bishop Burton College through the Autumn and Winter. We have a variety of trainers and activities, depending on what members require, and which events are coming up on the team front.
​
Training for Seniors and Competent Juniors is on a Thursday evening. We currently have 3 trainers working on a 3 week rota. Jack Wainwright and Rion Marks for Flat and Pole Work and Fran Norton for Jumping. Training for Juniors and less confident Seniors or horses is on a Monday Evening at Bishop with Georgina Turgoose. Sessions run from 6.30pm-7.30pm and 7.30pm-8.30pm.
We also hold monthly Saturday Morning club sessions for our Juniors with Jack Wainwright and Nikki Robinson at Aike Grange in Winter and Club field through the spring and summer months.
To book please go to our next training sessions which can be found on the home page. We can currently accommodate up to 6 riders in each session.
​
To enable us to keep our riders and horses safe in case of an emergency at training or at one of our events, we ask all riders to complete a WRRC information card. Where possible please auto fill online and print and we'd suggest laminating if possible, these are to be handed in at the start of training or event and then collected which will be the members responsibility. If you are unable to print we will have copies available for you to take and complete at our upcoming training/events. We appreciate you cooperating as your safety is paramount to us.
​
The Club Field is available for use for Paid up Members only, weather permitting, during the summer months at a contribution of £15. If you would like to use the club field please text or ring Jonathan Palmer on 07899 840811 with the following details. Full Name of riders and membership numbers, date and time of use.
Please be aware the field will not be available if training is being held or is too close to out events taking place.

We go to Team Events where we compete against other Riding Clubs both Locally and Nationally, travelling to Richmond, Lincoln, Bishop Burton and Port Royal amongst other places, and further afield if we qualify for the Nationals.
