Our Riding Club is called Saxon because it was formed in Bradford On Avon originally. The club is a roaming club, does purely dressage and has members within a 20 mile radius of Bradford On Avon.
The club is affiliated to British Riding Clubs and celebrated its 21st Birthday in 2006 and marked this occasion with a Summer Show at Stonar in July. The club currently has over 65 members all over 16 years of age. We only allow competitors under 16s at our open shows.
This is our fifth year as an affiliated club and we enter teams into the BRC Area competitions with a view to going to the championships if successful. Members have represented our club at the Area 12 Dressage to Music Qualifiers in May and we have also entered teams into the Area Qualifiers in June.
We consider ourselves to be a grass roots club who encourage members of any level with or without their own horse. Subscription (£18 per year) includes Club newsletter, reduced entry fees and affiliation to British Riding Clubs (BRC) You will receive the BRC Rider magazine and be eligible for BRC benefits, training opportunities, lectures and demonstrations.
Our year ends with our Championship Show which will be held at West Wilts on October 18th 2008. To qualify for the Championship Classes, Members need to have been placed 1st to 6th in a class and have a score of over 55%. Our Membership is only open to 16 years of age or over. Qualifying slips are given out with results at the competitions.
