About Wrekin North Riding Club

Wrekin North Riding Club is a long-established, not-for-profit riding club based in Telford, Shropshire, serving riders and equestrian enthusiasts from across Shropshire, Staffordshire, and the West Midlands. We’re passionate about horses, riders, and the joy of equestrian sport — and we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, friendly club for riders of all ages and abilities.

Our Story & Values

Founded many years ago and run entirely by volunteers, Wrekin North Riding Club has built a strong reputation as a supportive and inclusive equestrian community in the region.

Throughout our history, we’ve operated as a “not-for-profit” organisation, reinvesting all surplus funds back into the club to benefit members and improve facilities.

Our core values are simple:

Encouragement and support for riders of all levels
A focus on horse welfare and good horsemanship
A relaxed, sociable environment where members can learn, develop, and make friends
Fun and opportunity for all, especially young riders just starting their equestrian journey

We aim to foster a love of all forms of riding and horse sport, helping members gain confidence, improve skills, and enjoy time with their equine friends.

Club Structure & Community

Our club is entirely volunteer-led, with a dedicated committee elected annually from within the membership. Committee members bring a wide range of equestrian experience and enthusiasm — from show coordination to safeguarding, social media and event support — ensuring the club runs smoothly and continues to grow.

Beyond competition and training, Wrekin North is a community — a place where riders and families meet, share experiences, support each other, and celebrate achievements. Whether you’re aiming for competition success or just enjoy riding for fun, you’ll find a warm welcome here.
