Hi everyone, just after a bit of local advice regarding riding club!
I'm really wanting to join a riding club to get out and about a bit with new girly & to meet horsey people in my area as I keep the horses at home and don't really get a chance to experience the social side of them (other than you lovely lot of course
). I think riding club would be a fab opportunity for both of us to have some fun and would be a good way to find out about events etc which I keep missing out on!
I assumed Shrewsbury & District would be the closest to me but I found out that the rallies are held at Walford college, so drove down to go and have a look - and as embarrassing as this is, our crap lorry can't get us there!
The roads are quite twisty from our way and it's a beast incapable of doing tight turns / fitting under low trees, and we'd have to go through town - and our lorry being THE most unreliable horsebox invented tends to break down on every outing so don't fancy bringing it through a busy area unless we absolutely have to (...cringe)
Do they have all their rallies / events up that way or do they have things "this side" of Shrewsbury too?
I'm located quite near to Berriewood (Condover way)... are there any other riding clubs in this area or is SDRC the closest one for me?
Ps ) For those of you thinking "just get a better lorry!" - we're fighting a losing battle to change it! Apparently we "don't use it enough to justify getting a new one" - we only don't use the bloody thing because it can't manage to get us from A to B without breaking down and blocking the roads !! Grr!
