Strathearn Riding Club

Welcome to Strathearn Riding Club

We are a small friendly club with around 100 members from Dunblane to Aberfeldy and from Crieff to Abernethy. If you join us then the emphasis will be on fun and we will try to provide as many opportunities for you to enjoy your horse(s) as we can regardless of your ability. Strathearn Riding Club aims to cater for everyone, from grass roots riders to more experienced BS, BD and BE competitors.

Throughout the year we offer a wide variety of training events, rallies and clinics with top class instructors at purpose-built venues. We also run a few competitions and leagues in collaboration with existing local venues and we actively encourage our members to take part in BRC Area 22 and Scottish competitions at a subsidised rate.

So, whether you are interested in competing at 1m plus, elementary dressage and representing your club, or would prefer to take part in social hacks and try your hand at intro dressage, Strathearn Riding Club is for you.

Scottish RC Championships 1st/2nd June 2024

This years Scottish Riding Club Championships will be held on the earlier dates of 1st and 2nd June due to the weather being very unreliable later in the year.

Once again they will take place at Auchlishie with classes for dressage, showjumping, style jumping and on Sunday, horse trials at all levels.

Strathearn RC is usually well represented at this event so please go to the downloads page where you will find the schedule and entry form, also a sponsorship form.

Please read the schedule carefully as the organisers have listened carefully to our feedback from last year and there are quite a few changes to the classes.

Entries should be sent to Sue by 30th April. That’s not long so don’t miss out!!

Area 22 Interclub Competition incorporating BRC qualifiers 6th/7th July 2024

This is a brand new venue and by all accounts is spectacular.

Gleneagles Dressage League

Once again SRC will be piggy-backing on the Gleneagles Dressage league and awarding rosettes to the best SRC member plus a trophy at the AMM in December.

The first one is Wednesday 17th April and there will be one every month starting at 5.30 until September.

Its a great, informal way to introduce your horse to dressage from intro to elementary!

"I think this is my third year and I have really enjoyed being an active member. I feel the choice of clinics/lessons/instructors has really helped me to go from happily jumping 50 – 60cms to competing in our first BE80 the summer with so much support from everyone. Great Club!"

"I’ve been a member since 1982; the club has given me fun, friends, fantastic experiences and now a FBHS instructor!"

"First year of being a member and loved it. Everyone is so friendly, supportive and great company and the rallies and venues we have had the pleasure of attending are second to none. Love it and proud to be a member."

“Next year will be my third year in the club. I have gone from being scared to ride my aunties veteran horse in walk, to being happy jumping her in the ‘confidence’ lessons with Carol to forming a new partnership with a more challenging horse, thanks to my lessons with Erika! The club has really encouraged me to continue riding through university.”

“Joined in January, having not ridden for 25 years! Wonderful to join a club that is sooo friendly and inclusive. And so many fantastic rallies and events to take part in. Totally brilliant!”

“I was a member about 30 years ago . Then ponies and children took over. I rejoined 4 years ago and had the most amazing time. With friendships and support that'll last a lifetime. Brilliant instructors in all disciplines. A hard working committee who organise everything. Opportunities to compete at all levels representing the club. I'm proud to be a member.”
