Bishops Riding Club
Affiliated Member of British Riding Clubs
|
Based in and around the Wear Valley, our club provides a wide
range of activities for riders of all abilities - from beginners
to serious competitors - as well as a variety of social events. The club was founded in 1989, and now has members from as far afield as Ireshopeburn, Washington, and Newcastle. We have a year-round programme of activities, including fun rides, training, visits and talks, and social activities such as barbecues, visits to the races, and even bowling. We run regular training sessions, with expert instructors, covering everything from cross-country to dressage to music. They range from introductory sessions to new disciplines for beginners to clinics with specialist instructors. Our teams compete throughout the area, and have represented the region successfully in national competitions - in 2004 we became equitation jumping champions and the 2005 season culminating in our Rural Riders team winning the National Riding Club championships in Lincoln. |

Take a look at the events page, we have an excellent opportunity to take a trip to Burghley Horse Trials but bookings have to be taken ASAP. Photos in the GALLERY from recent Ian Brown clinic The Summer qualifiers are now well under way - at the Showjumping Qualifiers we put up an excellent performance to come 2nd in the Intermediate Showjumping with Kevin Jones (3rd), Danial Malkin (4th), Dawn Emerson and Shelley Routledge. Lucy Whitfield was our only entry in the Novice team and had an unfortunate 4 faults. The Jumping with Style team came 3rd. We also had the club's first attempt at the Dressage to Music qualifiers - with Jo Pinkney and Vicky Gibson winning the Pairs competition. Tricia Jones came an excellent 3rd in the individual competetion. Many members have expressed their confusion over the flu vaccinations so click here for a useful tool to check your dates are valid. The committee would like to hear from members as to what events they would like to see arranged. A number of the rallies over the past couple of months have been cancelled due to lack of support. Please help us and tell us what you would like. You can contact the secretary by clicking here
