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.

"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.”
