Good RC's and EC's in Leicestershire?

[Kat1e]

Hi, does anyone have a riding club or equestrian centre to recommend in Leicestershire? If so, do they have a website? I've made a little forum for the area and would like a section on upcoming events so I need to do some research. So far I'm aware of a few little RC's and some EC's like Vale View, Moorelands and Markfield (can't find a website for this one though- any ideas?)

Thanks! I searched for a website for markfield on google and nothing came up- I must be totally useless!

Ah thank you bex I think you've told me about them before, will look at the site again and contact them to see if it's ok to put details of their stuff on the forum.

It's at http://leicestershireriders.proboards57.com

Thank you skye. I used to go to Burbage years ago before I moved- still have some old rosettes with the name on! Newbold Verdon isn't far from me at all so hopefully I'll be able to get there. Just going to see if I can find websites for them

 

[Kat1e]

Hi Chris

I was born and bred in Leicestershire but have been away for 21 years now. I would love to know what is going on in the area and to see if I recognise any names or places now that Im in the age of the bewildered! Can oldies/has beens/ex-pats join?

 

[lovecharles]

whereabouts in leictershire are you?

 

[alisonpook]

Sutton Bonington Riding Club

Melton Mowbray Riding Club

Rutland Riding Club

Somerby Equestrian Centre

are all old haunts that spring to mind from when I used to compete. Rearsby Lodge as already mentioned used to be my main club but they sadly are not able to provide the number of shows and training that they used to.

 

[Kat1e]

Hello llwyncwn, yes of course you can join in

Whereabouts did you live?

 

[Kat1e]

North-west leicestershire, not a million miles from Markfield and Newbold Verdon EC. You?

 

[Kat1e]

Thank you EllieP, lots of names there!

 

[Llwyncwn]
