Welcome to Goring & District Riding Club, a popular and friendly club based in the Worthing and surrounding areas.

What We Do 

We run many different Events throughout the year, for all standards of riding and all ages. We hold several Shows and offer lots of training opportunities too! 

Throughout the Summer and Winter seasons we run a Dressage Series at Brinsbury College ? Sands Farm. In the Autumn we hold a SJXC at Castle Goring and twice a year we run Arena Eventing at Pyecombe.  Plus Clear Round evenings throughout the Summer. Non-riding Events are often held at Patching Village Hall and include lectures, tack sales and quizzes.

Training Clinics for are organised for all abilities using qualified Instructors and Trainers; we try our best to provide the training opportunities that our Members request.

We're very proud of our Senior and Junior Teams whom have been very successful in all equestrian disciplines at both Area and National level.  We try to find a Team place for everyone that would like to represent GDRC and endeavour to sponsor the entries wherever possible

We welcome new members, and are always listening to any new ideas all our Members have.

The rider is permitted to bring up to 4 other persons  as long as they are in your social bubble as support. Social distancing must be observed within your own bubble.

1. We request that 2m distancing is observed when possible.

2. SPECTATORS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Only competitors bubbles up to a maximum of 6 people including rider and groom

3. As hand washing will be difficult on the showground please use the wipes supplied in the toilet to wipe down all areas that you have touched during your visit. Hand sanitizers will be available at the Secretaries desk and at the gate.

4. To make our event safer in today’s environment we are NOT accepting entries on the day to stop cash handling.
