Why Don't You Join Us?! Have Fun, Meet People and Relax With Your Horse!
A series of events designed to get you and your horse out on the trail – stunning scenery, good company, fine food, relaxation and quality time with your horse and like minded folk. Also an opportunity to expose you and your horse to other kinds of challenges and experiences - reality riding!!
We welcome all breeds of horse, whether ridden English or western, to
join us on the trail - however you need to know that the western trail
ride is a leisurely pastime, exploring the countryside and enjoying the
view.
Non members of AQHA-UK are also welcome, although if you are member you get a discount on all rides & events.
We provide rides for all levels & abilities – quiet calm relaxed
training rides for those new to the trail or who like to slow down from
the bustle of day- day life. For those ready for something more
challenging we have bridges, streams, bomb craters, moorland, underfoot
challenges, wildlife. We do self guided or led rides, overnight
camping, cottage holidays, day trips, pub rides, bar bq’s.
The rides also have rosettes, prizes, free raffle/prize draws, 'trail riding T shirts' to purchase or win, and other goodies . We also have the Mendip Stud trail trophy, an annual award for the horse rider combination who have achieved something of merit out on the trail.
We affiliate at least one ride per year to AQHA Ride Programme
in the states and for these events riders get AQHA goody bags, the
chance to win a camera, double their Horseback Riding Hours if they
participate in the scheme and raise money for charity - an integral
part of the programme. In the past we have raised money for ILPH, Kings
Lynn Accident and Emergency Service Lords House Farm and local McMillan Nurses.
ITS NOT JUST HORSES WE CARE ABOUT
At
AQHA.UK we not only feel and care passionately about our Quarter
Horses, we care about our members too! We are also about having some
fun and doing more for our members as an Association.
We
know you want to do more than attend shows or simply hack out. Many
members have a partner, who while may not be actively involved with
Quarter Horses on a daily basis, want to support their partner and
share the social side of being an AQHA member.
We have many
members who organises riding events for other members, their partners
or indeed the whole family. These events include leisure rideouts, BBQs
and general 'get togethers'.
If you want to organise a trail
ride or event in your area please contact the co-ordinator to discuss.
With your help we can get this programme going across the country and
get more of you involved. Organising an event need not be hard work,
can be fun and from my experience most trail folk are very appreciative
of anything you put on. We can also link some of you together who may
wish to join together to have a go at organising something in your
area.
