I have been looking at joining a local riding club. But not sure if it is worth it. The one i have been looking at seem to do a lot for teams but doesn't appear to do many just everyday shows. They offer jumping clinics and camps etc. So all looks quite good fun and good for improving me and baby horse.
But the stage where baby horse and I are at the moment we aren't going to be picked for any teams for a while, still a lot to learn! Yes, we can put together a 60+% prelim dressage test, but not a lot else! Jumping is a work in progress. But I would love to get involved with the riding club teams and the qualifiers and finals etc would really give me a focus to work towards. Just not sure if it would be worth joining a club now or leaving it another year till we are established a bit more.
For what reasons are you part of riding club? Or maybe you aren't for any particular reason?
If you are part of a riding club, what are they like from the inside? I hear they can be quite cliquey to get onto the teams etc.
Want to hear the good and bad stories
