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 unique equestrian community in Southlands, the Club focuses on providing training opportunities for amateur athletes and horses at all levels, from grass roots to Grand Prix.
Our vision
That the Southlands Riding Club be recognized for its strong sense of community pride in a natural semi-rural setting and as a cohesive, beautiful and multi-faceted centre of excellence for all levels of equestrian endeavour within the City of Vancouver.
We're a non-profit society serving approximately 400 riding and non-riding members of all ages and interests. While the Club does not offer horses to lease or hire, several of the stables in the area offer public lesson programs and summer camps. Contact information for these stables is included under the Coaching/Lessons tab on our navigation bar, or click the link below.
