Be part of a friendly riding community across the Waimakariri and Canterbury region.
Our membership year runs from 1 July – 30 June each season. We welcome riders, partners, families and supporters who want to ride, learn and connect through our rallies, social rides, clinics and events.
Joining WRC is straightforward. New members complete a short application and have it supported by a current member. You’re also asked to attend one club activity such as:
a speaker dinner
the AGM
a rally
a social ride (“Hacknix”)
Once submitted, your application is reviewed by the committee. You will receive confirmation from the Membership Secretary before making payment.
Fees are set by the club AGM and apply from July 1 to June 30 as follows:
Full year per rider fee $50
Half year per rider fee $35 (half year is for new members joining after 1 January)
Full year per family fee $75
Half year per family fee $60 (half year is for new members joining after 1 January)
Full year per non-rider fee $30 (no half year option available for non-riders)
Day membership $20
Becoming a member gives you:
Access to rallies, coaching and social rides
Reduced event entry fees
A voice in club activities and direction
Connection with riders of all levels in a supportive community
Our rallies and events are held around the Waimakariri region – see the Events page for details and dates.
Whether you’re local or from further afield, you’re welcome to meet us at any event. Membership isn’t just about horses — it’s about the people you ride with, learn from, and share stories with along the way.
