We provide training and social events at venues in the area surrounding Ludlow in the Shropshire Hills. We aim to provide an inclusive and friendly club for anyone interested in riding and horses in general. There are lots of opportunities to meet new people and learn new skills through training as well as our social events. We offer flatwork, jumping and cross country training at a range of venues for all levels with enthusiastic and encouraging instructors. We also run a yearly weekend camp for our members which is always a a blast.
If you are interested in competing there are lots of opportunities, as LDRC compete in a range of competitions including Mercian, Area and unaffiliated. We always make sure we have fun, no matter the result, with plenty of team spirit.

Natalie Canning (Chair & Area Rep)
I have been riding since I was a child and enjoy all aspects of riding. When I was a teenager I had the opportunity to ride a friend’s horse who took me all the way to trying out for the GB junior eventing team. I have fun competing and do a bit of everything. I love learning new things and enjoy the social aspect of being in a riding club, sharing the highs and lows of horses.

Wendy Woodward (Mercian Rep)
I organise the Mercian team events. There are a number of competitions held throughout the year aimed at novice horse and rider combinations. We are very supportive at these events and the main aim is to have fun with like minded people and make new friends.
Chris Lees (Social lead)
The social team here at LDRC plan and organise social events for the club. We aim to meet up socially at least once a month – anything from an organised trip to a pub quiz. We try to give lots of notice and post what’s on through our facebook page and on this website. If you have any ideas or can offer any help we would love to hear from you!
