Welcome to the Blackdown Hills Riding Club Website

Welcome to the Blackdown Hills Website which is currently being improved.

We are a small and friendly club that aims to promote events that enable riders of all abilities and disciplines to both learn and have fun, whilst offering the opportunity for members to share equestrian experiences with other riders.

The Blackdown Hills riding club is affiliated to the British Horse Society and is one of the riding clubs within British Riding Clubs Area 12.

Teams and individuals can compete in various events that take place throughout the year with many reaching the finals.

We welcome new members to our club, Please complete the membership form if you would like to join.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.

If you are interested in competing in any of these competitions please contact Sarah Eccles or Claire Dean, as we regularly run training for all disciplines in preparation for the events.
