Our popular and relaxed dressage show returns this autumn, and will again be held at the beautiful Crows Hall. Please find times HERE

AGM - November 21st, Mendlesham Hall

If you have been before, you know what to expect. The usual formal AGM, some food, some fun and lots of catching up! If you haven't been before, please come along, meet the team 'behind the scenes', meet fellow members, put forward any comments or suggestions you have, and who knows, you may even want to join us on the committee!

Dates for Your Diary

At the last Committee Meeting we tried to draft our programme of events for 2025. This is where we got to:

Sept Fun Show

Oct Autumn Dressage at Crow’s Hall

Nov Awards Evening/ Social AGM

Dec. ‘Olympia Trip’

Don't forget all our events and bookings are done via our web collect page - www.webcollect.org.uk/grs

Please also keep an eye on our Facebook page for upcoming events.

We have several events throughout the year, including Spring Dressage, social evenings, car boot, Autumn dressage, Pleasure Ride, Mini-Member training sessions, a club camp, an online dressage league and more evening Show Jumping.

Last year we ran a Summer Camp at Forest Edge Arena in August. We offered a full camp with lessons and training, or a hacking camp, for those more laid back riders among us. it proved very popular, so we will run another in July this year

Remember, this is your club. If there is anything you would be interested in, let a member of the committee know, we'll see if it's something we could organise.
