What we are doing now
Hello and thank you for visiting our website!
​
We are busy getting ready for our 2025 season, our schedule is available and our show dates have been confirmed. Membership is now open and fees are staying the same this year. New on the schedule this year is a rescue or blemished inhand class, we are keeping our walk and trot class and have amended the happy partner class to walk and trot only. If you are a lead rein competitor, you will be allowed to enter into the Happy partner class off the lead rein if you wish, to have a go at a ridden class off the lead.
​
​Classes remain at £8 for non members, or £6 for members with membership at £15 per person which includes your presentation evening ticket. Membership closes in July 2025 for the 2025 season.
​
Although we have had our AGM, we do always welcome feedback throughout the year, so don't hesitate to get in touch if you have something to share.
​
The showground is in Swillington which has lovely flat showing rings, a large showing jumping arena, plenty of parking and a separate SJ and showing warm up area.
​
If you need any help on which classes to enter we suggest you check this handy guide : https://www.matchyhorsey.co.uk/showing/
​
We look forwards to welcoming back all our members and hopefully some new faces for 2025!
Thanks

Where we began and what we are about
We are a small friendly local show established in 1976. We currently hold five events a year between May and September, the August show being a fundraiser for local charities. There is something for everyone at our shows from a new beginner to the more advanced rider. We have in-hand and ridden classes as well as show jumping, Lead Rein and Novice classes. Each show has an in-hand and ridden championship split across Juniors and Seniors. Our Annual Show, held in September, is sponsored by various local businesses and the winner of each class is presented with a perpetual trophy and the highest placed member receives a prize too! Our members accrue points over the course of the season and the rider* with the most points per class at the end of the year is also presented with a perpetual trophy. On our website you will find our schedule, membership forms and pre entry forms however if there is anything else you would like or if you have any questions please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.
*please note that points are accrued as a rider and horse combination. If you would like any further details please see our rules page or ask a member of the committee.
