Welcome to Braintree Riding Club...

... your local, informal riding club for people who ride for fun and want to do something different... and never thought they could!

Read the latest newsletter!

If you're thinking of having a go, but unsure, come along and meet us. We'll help you and guide you all the way so that you can eventually go on and compete big time... if that's what you want!

We welcome new and old competitors. All of our events are open to anyone. Perpetual trophies are awarded in October each year to Junior and Senior competitors.
