Welcome to Southlands Riding Club!
Southlands Riding Club has been providing a home for
equestrian sport and recreation in the City of Vancouver since 1943.
Located at the heart of the city's equestrian community, the Club
focuses on providing training opportunities for amateur athletes
at all levels, from grass roots to Grand Prix.
We're
a non-profit society that serves approximately 350 riding and non-riding
members of all ages and interests. We are also "home" to groups
that cater to youth, riders with special needs, and recreational
trail riders. The Club encourages volunteer participation, and welcomes
visitors at our many public events.
Southlands Riding Club is a riding facility with no horses
living on site, and so is not able to offer public lesson programs,
trail riding or horse rentals. Several of the stables in the surrounding
neighbourhood do offer riding lessons and summer camps. Contact
information for these stables is included in our Information
Brochure.
What's
New at SRC?
Did
you know that Southlands Riding Club is celebrating it's 70th anniversary
this year? Alison Martin, one of our approved dressage instructors,
is compiling information, stories, pictures, and fun facts about
the club from over the past 70 years. To make THE Book truly special
we'd love to hear from our members, past and present, as well as
friends and competitors who've spent time down here. If you have
any stories or pictures you'd like shared and printed please make
your submissions to SRC.
Also, if you're interested in making a personal note or dedication
there's more information here
as well as the form to do so here.
The deadline for dedications is September 15, 2013 and the deadline
for submitting pictures if October 1, 2013. THE Book will be ready
for purchase before the Christmas season and all proceeds will go
towards funding our proposed covered lunge ring.
Our monthly "coming events" newsletter, the SRC
Bulletin, and our quarterly magazine,
The Horscope, are now available online. Keep up
to date on all Club news and events!
