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. |
