Barnard Castle and Teesdale Riding Club

The Club was established in 2007 by 3 friends Lezley Aldrich, Viv Dent and Jo Cosgrove, who felt there was a need for a Club in Teesdale. An open meeting was arranged to gauge the feelings of local riders and by the end of the meeting, we had more than 40 members. Today we are an active affiliated Club with almost 200 members and although initially, it was for seniors only, due to the increasing interest by younger riders, a sub-committee was formed and we now have a well attended Junior Section. Both seniors and juniors run separate activities but join forces when they need or want, arises.
