BHS approved Riding Club based in Bitton and Surrounding Areas
Get Involved
We're excited to be welcoming new members to our club. Whether you're here for our riding clinics, social events, or simply to enjoy the company of like-minded members, we are thrilled to have you join us.
Membership
Membership costs £30 per year.
The only ‘rules’ VHPRC stipulate for joining is that you are either 30 years of age and over, or your horse or pony is a veteran of 15 years or over and of course, you are willing to take part and enjoy yourself doing so!
Membership lasts for one year from the date you join. BRC have now launched the membership portal so payments need to be made on line. You should receive an email reminder each year
with a link to renew or you can select the 'Auto Renew' option. Please see some helpful links below;
