Hello, my name is Alison Nicholson and as well as being Chairperson, I’m also the Membership Secretary. I got into riding through my mum who had had ponies in her childhood. She encouraged me to ride from an early age and now many, many years later I still haven’t outgrown my horsey phase! I see myself as a ‘happy hacker plus” as I enjoy doing a variety of activities but not necessarily taking part in competitions. You may see me at club activities with my superstar Buddy (or Muddy, as he's known in the winter!) As Chairperson I want to run a club where all members feel equally valued and comfortable; and horse welfare is paramount. If you have any comments or feedback about the club please do contact me.

Hi, I’m Bex and I’ve been part of the committee for a good number of years now! I love getting involved in club events and my firm favourite is our big showing show at Helmingham Hall.
All my free time is taken up with my horses, Harn, my PBA will hopefully be coming back into work this year after a long list of issues! And Frank, my Shetland pony, who I have now broken to drive. He’s currently the fittest & busiest horse on the yard. Frank also takes part in our mini member training with my niece Ava. It’s lovely being involved with such a friendly club, I have made many friends through it and continue to make many more!

Hi there, I'm Katie. I joined the club at the beginning of 2020, so my first year with the club was fairly "non-eventful" due to the Covid-19 pandemic arriving, but I did manage some training sessions and the Autumn Dressage with my horse, Jamal.
The club is so welcoming and friendly, I was honoured when I was asked if I wanted to join the committee and am proud to be part the 'behind-the-scenes' team for such an encouraging and supportive group of people that is the Gipping Riding Society. If I'm not taking part in Gipping events, you'll probably find me on the ground helping out.
