Veteran Horse Pony and Rider Club

About Us

The Veteran Horse, Pony & Riders Club (or VHPRC for short) is an encouraging and friendly BHS approved Riding Club based in the areas of Wick, Pucklechurch, Bridgeyate and surrounding areas.

The VHPRC aims to promote the welfare and activities of veteran horses and ponies, as well as help and encourage mature riders. Each year we try to make donations to various charities, which are chosen by the members. We aim to cater for competitive and non-competitive riders, and have been successful in encouraging mature riders back into both pleasure riding and competition. The club aims to ensure that members have the opportunity to enjoy and improve their riding, with no pressure to ride beyond their wishes. We also welcome non-riding members who can enjoy and learn at the monthly meetings and visit and watch ridden events. The club arranges an annual camp and ridden rallies, which are open to all members of all abilities - these are mainly held in the Bitton area. Ridden rallies emphasise on encouragement, support and most of all, fun!
