West Surrey Riding Club
an affiliated Area 11 British Riding Club

Welcome to the West Surrey Riding Club website. WSRC are affiliated to  the  British Riding Club, based in Area 11, a very active area, which organise many team events. We are a small friendly club in the Surrey Hills conservation area between Guildford and Cranleigh and we would love to invite you to look around our website and if you are not already a member, we hope this might encourage you to join us! 

Our primary objective as a club is to help and encourage our members in all aspects of horsey life – from the increasingly popular Trec to interactive lecture demonstrations, instruction and team competitions. The emphasis we try to maintain in the club is to make owning and training your horse as enjoyable and sociable as possible while still being informative and safe. We know that the majority of our riders are keen to improve their skills and do the very best for their horses so all the events we organise are aimed to promote these things.

We would also welcome any non members to come along to watch some of our events/training sessions so you can see if what we have to offer appeals to you. We are very lucky to have some fantastically generous local land owners who allow us to use their facilities and land and without their support we would not be able to run such a wide range of events – so a big THANK YOU to them on behalf of all the club members.

he Area 11 MOLLY ABRAHAM TROPHY
This trophy is awarded annually to a member of an affiliated riding club within Area 11 (Surrey) who is judged to have given outstanding service to their Club and/or the Area. It is intended to reward help rather than riding achievements.
The trophy was established in 2004 in memory of Molly Abraham who was the Secretary of the Area Liaison Committee for a number of years and someone who was always willing to help at club and Area events.

We are delighted to announce that for 2022 this prestigious Trophy was awarded to our very own Ro Major.
All our members know Ro. It is impossible not to know her - she is usually at the ringside at all our events helping people and encouraging them to take part in riding club activities. Ro has been a member of West Surrey for many years, as well as holding a committee post and is regularly seen at all Area events talking to members of BRC, regardless of their club, age or pony! This was so well deserved - we are all volunteers - we do this work to keep the club, and the area, running in our limited spare time alongside our own lives. Ro's energy, love of all things equine, friendly and approachable personality is 110% valued by all of us at West Surrey - and within the wider area.

The trophy was presented to Ro by our Area 11 Chair, Penny Jann at our AGM  - You will be able to see from the photos that Ro had no idea and was completely surprised! A well kept secret indeed!! Many, Many Congratulations Ro - and Thank you for everything you do for us!
