We are delighted to have organised another fun ride to take place on the CHILLESFORD ESTATE, near Woodbridge with two/three routes - approximately 8 and 4 miles, plus a short route (for mini members on lead rein).
There will also be an opportunity for carriage drivers, setting off before the main ride starts.
The routes will mainly be on sandy tracks and field margins. Riders will be expected to wear hi-viz, carry a mobile phone and ride with at least one other person, in case of emergency. Please show consideration to other riders and horses.
Refreshments will not be available so we suggest you bring a picnic to enjoy and share after your ride.
Open to non-members so please bring your friends!
If you want a faster ride please try and set off before 9.30am if possible.
Rosettes for all finishers.
This ride will go ahead regardless of number of entries but pre-entry will still be required.
Bookings close at 3pm on Wednesday 23 September 2026.
Parking will be on a field and signposted off the main track.
All profits will be donated to Royal British Legion on behalf of Mr and Mrs George Watson.

Spring Dressage
Helmingham Show
Summer Camp
Autumn Dressage
Olympia Trip
Don't forget all our events and bookings are done via our web collect page - www.webcollect.org.uk/grs

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.
