Why join Wittering Academy Riding Club?
Founded in 2007, the primary objective of Wittering Academy Riding Club is to help riders of all ages and abilities achieve their equestrian ambitions.
From the very beginning Wittering Academy has placed great emphasis on the importance of, and access to, quality training. We know that many horse/rider combinations fall short of their full potential. But with access to good knowledgeable instructors we can remedy that.
We are unique in our approach to training with the introduction of the ‘Mentoring’ system. Each and every member, if they wish to, is assigned to a Wittering Academy mentoring group, with which they will regularly ride with an assigned mentor. The mentoring system offers all members regular, affordable, quality tuition. We run the mentoring groups because we believe it is possible to learn as much from watching others as by doing it yourself.
Over and above the regular mentoring sessions we also run a packed annual programme of training events and competitions, giving you the opportunity to put all that you have learnt into practice.
Wittering Academy Riding Club (WARC) is affiliated with British Riding Clubs and regularly takes part in Area 7 qualifier events.
As well as an emphasis on training the Academy is keen to build good spirit and humour between members of the local horsey scene. As a result, we are keen to cater for non-riding members by offering horse care seminars. Non-riding members will also be able to participate in a programme of ‘extra curricular’ events that are both fun and in some way complementary to riding.
For example group Yoga sessions, Horse & Human nutrition sessions, Race night, Horse/Human massage.

Quadrille Demo and Have-a-go Clinic
Wow – what a fabulous day we had on 8th August with Rearsby Lodge Riding Club who came along with their Quadrille instructor, retired cavalry officer, David Boyd, to show us how fabulous the art of Quadrille is.
An amazing demonstration by their squad of 12 followed by an hour’s lesson with David for 12 of our own WARC guinae pigs.
And as if that wasn’t enough, all 24 riders then joined together for a final display.
The morning was rounded off with tea and cake including two fabulous cakes in the two club colours made by Rearsby.
Thank you to everyone involved, to Emma for organising, everyone who took part or came along to watch.
A few photos and video clips to enjoy (thank you to everyone to shared their lovely images) – much more on our Facebook group.

🐴HELPER CREDIT UPDATE🐴![]()
As our members know, we can't run our events without help and we are always grateful to those who come along and lend a hand. It is in fact a condition of membership that you help out at at least one event a year (many of you do much much more). For every hour you help, we award you with one credit (equivalent to £1) which once you have at least 10, you can redeem against your mentoring sessions or a clinic. Here is the updated list in case you were interested in how many credits you have. If you are not on the list and think you have helped out then please let me know. If you are not on the list and haven't helped this year so far - there is still time. 😜![]()
Thanks once again
