Some 20 years ago a group of mothers
(who's children were all members of a local Pony Club) decided that it
wasn't fair that their kids were having all the fun, and realised that
they wanted to do more (other than be chauffer, head groom, teacher
and comforter), so they decided to create their own Pont Club.
After weeks of phoning round, checking to see who would share their
interest in doing something else (other than cheer on their little
ones), Mortimer Riding Club was formed.
MRC has now grown into a thriving
Riding Club covering the North Hampshire area. With an active
Committee - meeting once a month - and an equally active membership,
the Club continues to try an cater for all levels of rider. From
the 'Happy Hacker' who just enjoys being out in the fresh air,
to the novice competitor who would love to be able to jump 3' 6" but
can't quite get there yet, to the old hands who enjoy the thrill of
competition.
The Club tries to organise events
for every level. from Sponsored Rides and 'days out' to
competitive Show Jumping and Dressage, we hope that there's something
for everyone.
If you're currently a Pony Club Mum
(or Dad) who wants that little bit more, Mortimer Riding Club would
love to hear from you.
After all, that's how we
started..........
