The Bungendore Riding Club is an adult riding club for riders over the age of 18. Our members include beginners, adults returning to riding and adults who regularly compete in open events. Those who enjoyed pony club as a child will also find our activities fun and reminiscent of those they experienced as younger riders.
Usually, the Club meets for training days at the Bungendore Showgrounds on the last Sunday of the month. We organise qualified local and visiting instructors to instruct members in an informal, fun and relaxed environment. Instruction ranges from basic ground work, lunging and poles, to dressage, jumping, eventing, working equitation, sporting and mounted games, and hacking. From time to time, we organise local trail rides and trail riding weekends away. The club runs two major competitions each year – a dressage competition, usually in February, and a one day event, usually in winter. Club members enjoy reduced entry fees to these competitions. There is also an annual combined adult riding club competition known as STARCC.
Lunch is generally available on training days or event, and provides a chance to mingle. Dress is casual but there are uniform items available for purchase. These are optional however, if representing the BRC at other events, the team will be required to turn out in the same attire.
We are an EA affiliated club and the safety of our members and their horses is paramount – we expect all our members to participate in accordance with our Code of Conduct.
New members are always welcome!
