Welcome to the Jersey Riding Club...

The JRC was established in 1965 for riders of all levels who are 17 years of age within the JRC Membership Year. The JRC is committed to both horse and rider learning and having fun. We have over 200 members, including riding and non-riding.

The JRC holds numerous events and instructionals on Show Jumping, Dressage, Cross Country and Cross-Jump. The committee members also organise social events, BHS examinations and the occasional lecture or demo.

To ensure everyone enjoys the JRC we ask our members to help our committee at events throughout the year to spread the workload of putting on regular events.

Enjoy browsing our site and if you have any questions or concerns regarding JRC, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Member’s

The committee would just like to express a huge thank you to the very many of you who helped to run our annual show, including our sponsors and officials, we were very grateful to those who turned up or stayed on at the end to help us clear away after such a busy weekend.

The points that you achieved all over the 4 days of the show have now been added up & we have our winners & runner-ups for the following trophies…

James Friend Trophy – Best Show Jumper
The Quillo Trophy – Best Overall Non-Novice Rider
The Les Evans Trophy – Best Over All (must have competed in Dressage, Showing & Jumping)
The Pennywise Trophy – Best Overall Novice Rider
The JRC Hunting Trophy – Best Novice Rider in a Working Hunter Class
The Honey Trophy – Best Coloured horse overall
The Lynhaven Jamboure Trophy – Overall Best Turned Out

The winners will be announced & trophies presented at the Ball on the 4th July at Les Ormes. (Menu/Order’s attached)

Please come along & support your club at this ball there will not be a ball this January as we think that 4 ‘horsie club balls’ a year are a bit much, we will do something in January for the Annual points trophies but as yet we are still coming up with ideas.

For those of you that like the Stats…
There were 150 dressage tests ridden in 3 arena’s
Our Show Judge Judged 98 horses during the 2 Show Days
There were 181 show jumping rounds jumped (not including Jump-off’s)

Full Results will be on our Website shortly.

Thank you again to all.

The JRC now has a mobile phone for use by the committee running up to & during competitions. This phone will be given to the point of contact for each event so that you only have 1 contact number to remember & whoever answers it will be able to assist you with your query relating to that event.

During weeks where there are no competitions feel free to text a query to this number & someone will call/text you back but please note this phone will not be monitored 24/7 and will not answered during the working day.

We will also be using this mobile to send out broadcast messages, for example, if an event is cancelled due to bad weather.
