Heart of England Equestrian Sport Club

Scroll down to Winter Events.

The Heart of England Equestrian Sport Club is affiliated to the Midlands Riding Clubs Association. Any further affiliations will be considered by committee.

The Sport Club is able to offer members group training in various disciplines to make training affordable for all, with an end result of better welfare of the equine and better safety and comfort for the rider as well as an improved performance.

The Sport Club will enter teams for many team Championships as well as rewarding individuals who do well in outside competitions and Championships.

There is no junior membership yet, but all ages will be treated with equality.

The horse and rider work in partnership but few exist without support from some one else, many of whom are non riders. Many others are ex-riders/owners, but who would still like to be connected with the ambience of the horse sport that gives us so much pleasure, experience and rewards. We welcome this group with a nominal membership fee of £1.

Whether you seek academic equitation or partake in pleasure, it is the aim of the Sport Club to make you welcome and to enjoy the athletic performance of the horse.

Heart of England Equestrian Sport Club has been founded as a non-profit making club purchasing services from the Heart of England Equestrian and elsewhere.

The last AGM was held in April 2008.
