The Pegasus Riding Club was formed in July 1982 by fifteen founding members. Their chief aim was to encourage riding as a sport and recreation, to promote good fellowship amongst riders and to improve and maintain a standard of riding and horsemanship. We have carried their dream on and 20 years later Pegasus Riding Club is one of the main clubs in the Canterbury area.
Due to the wide range of members the club has and their assortment of age and ability of both horse and rider, we endeavor to cater for all levels. We hold monthly rallies which can include dressage, jumping, in-hand, show preparation, vetting and general health, feeding, etc. throughout the year.
At regular intervals during the year we hold competitions such as a Dressage Competition, Clear Round Show Jumping, Hunter/Derby Jumping Competition, Open Ridden Show, Closed Christmas Ridden Show and an In-hand Show. Admittedly we may not get to do all of these in a one year period, however, we do our best to please all of our members and give them a chance to get our there and mingle.
There are also a couple of team’s events that we participate in annually, these being the Harris Teams Trophy for Dressage and the Dressage and Derby Day (which was started by Pegasus Riding Club in 2003).
Pegasus Riding Club annually award trophies to their members. Members can compete for the following:
·
Attendance
·Turnout
·Best Riding Club Mount
·Most Improved Rider
·Most Improved Horse
·Rebecca Arnold Memorial Cup – for sportsmanship and committment
Like many other Riding Clubs in the Canterbury area, we don’t own our own grounds, but we frequent most Pony Club grounds in the area. We do like to move around the grounds as our members are wide spread over the area.
Our committee members are always trying to come up with new ideas for rallies and competitions and we encourage ideas from all our members as at the end of the day we are here to help, encourage and improve both the horse the rider.
For further details or to join our progressive club, please write or email, details below. We look forward to hearing from you.
