Information sharing
As
a group we are in regular contact with each other and help maintain and
manage our local bridleways.
Our group communicates through:
Our social monthly meetings give us the chance to get
together, welcome new members and discuss matters that are important to us.
At these meetings we also organise guest speakers, as well as Bring & Buy
Sales, Quiz Nights & Social Group Outings
Just horsing around!
Our bridleways
are our main concern, but we also do many other things which will interest
anyone keen on horses, whether they are a rider or not, such as:
- Organised pleasure rides
- Dressage Competitions
- Hunter Trials
- The HODBG Annual Horse Show
With an annual HODBG social round-up of Prize Giving,
Fun & Dance
We also have a thriving Junior Section which has shows, gymkhanas, trips plus their
own monthly meetings
Come along and join in!

Organised Pleasure Rides
We
hold rides from April to October every year. These rides showcase the best of
our bridleway network covering beautiful areas throughout Bronte Country and beyond.
(Often experiencing routes over land not normally open for public access)
Look at our events calendar to find out when our next ride is and please come
and support us.
All riders are provided with detailed directions and refreshments are
available on completion of the ride.
We also have a Ride for Miles
where we award special rosettes to riders with the most miles under their
hooves at our AGM in November.
Dressage Competitons
Due
to popular demand we hold an annual Dressage
League. We hold four competitions throughout the year and points are
awarded for attendance and placing. With awards given to those placed in the
league at our AGM in November.
The competitions are open to all non-affiliated horses and riders and are
ideal for all ages with a special 'Fledglings' class for under elevens.
HODBG Hunter Trial
Every
year we hold a Hunter Trial in May.
Our venue is Craven Country Ride in Coniston Cold near Skipton.
We have a novice course ideally suited to children and beginners at a maximum
height of 2' and an open course for the more experience riders at a maximum
height of 2'9".
Annual Show
Every
year we hold an annual show for all our members to try their hand at showing.
