The Waimakariri Riding Club is a group of likeminded horse owners who have a shared vision to support the ongoing development of riding skills in the community.
The club grew out of a need for coaching and education of riders as many of our members are mature riders, often returning to horse ownership after a gap. We believe coaching and education is the major ingredient in the equation that leads to safe and positive experiences and to improve confidence. As a Riding Club we are dedicated to seeing riding standards continue to grow across our equestrian community.
How are we different?
We bring in qualified coaches across different disciplines and provide a fun and safe environment to facilitate coaching and learning in a supportive community environment.
As an incorporated society, we are a well-structured organisation governed first and foremost by ensuring health and safety of participants and the welfare of their horses. We encourage members to have their say about the education they want and need and to support one another with shared knowledge and goals.
Short answer. All over Canterbury. Right up to Hurunui and over into Selwyn. With the fuel prices and crisis we are conscious to keep our events close by!
