Competing for West Surrey Riding Club
We would love for you to compete in a WSRC team!
Would you like to be part of a team representing West Surrey Riding Club at the Area, National and Local Qualifiers (London & South East)?
There are a variety of competitions every year across all equestrian disciplines. If you would like to be part of a WSRC team or enter as an individual for any of the Riding Club events, please contact the relevant team manager (see contact details below). They’ll be able to tell you more about which tests/heights are used at each qualifier and sign you up. Please note for the National qualifiers, preliminary entries need to be with BRC Head Office 21 days before the event, so make sure you contact the team managers in good time if you’re interested in riding for us in any of these.
We really don’t only want people who are experienced in their discipline – we’re also very happy to include those who are just keen to have a go and who promise to turn up on the day! We are extremely fortunate that West Surrey Riding Club kindly pay all team entries for you, these events are not cheap, so we need commitment. If you’re in the local area when an event is on, why not drop in and support your team, there is normally a group of regular supporters and always a picnic with nice cakes and prosecco!
"I would never have been brave enough to have competed on a team event if it hadn't been for all the support and encouragement I've had from this club, even when I've had a total meltdown on the day everyone has been so friendly and I've always come away feeling really positive. Oh and the picnics are fab too!!! Top club!!" Helen French

WSRC Team Show Jumping at Sands Farm
"The first time I competed for WSRC I was a little bit nervous about whether or not i would be good enough. Once I met my team manager and all of the team I soon realised I had nothing to worry about and it was all about having fun with supportive and friendly team mates! I highly recommend getting involved, there are lots of training opportunities and friendly competitions as well as team qualifiers. I love competing for WSRC!" Samantha Petri Please volunteer to helpWe need you! We are always in need of volunteers to help at events. We need people to represent WSRC to help competitions run smoothly and to allow our teams to enter. If you are able to spare a morning or afternoon to help please let us know. westsurreyrc@gmail.com

Information for riders entering qualifiers in 2019.
Please make sure your horse vaccinations are fully up to date in their passports when competing as part of a team or as an individual. Team managers will ask for scanned copies in advance.
Body Protectors:
New Body Protector Rules from 1 January 2018. British Riding Clubs will only accept body protectors with BETA 2009 purple labels, for more information click here.
Riding Hat Standards & Tagging for 2019:
For any riding club qualifier or other team competition, you now need a new ‘aqua’ coloured hat tag. Good news - British Riding Clubs, British Eventing and The Pony Club have all agreed to use the same colour of hat tag. From now on you just need the one aqua coloured tag on your hat and it will be accepted by each of these organisations (so no need for multiple multi coloured hat tags!).
