Blenheim Eventer Challange 2023
We had a great day out on 14th September, watching our team of Sarah, Sophie, Sue & Debbie compete in the 90cm Eventer Challenge at Blenheim. They did so well, but not placed this time. It was a very complicated course, with lots of twists & turns. It was great to see lots of MKRC members there to support the team too.

About MKRC
Milton Keynes Riding Club (MKRC) are based in Buckinghamshire and are affiliated to the BHS British Riding Clubs. Clubs that are affiliated to the BHS are split into 23 areas within the UK. We are part of Area 7 and as a member you will have access to local and national competitions including Area Qualifiers and Championships.
MKRC was founded in June 2015 by a group of passionate liveries at MK Equestrian Centre (MKEC), and has gone from strength to strength ever since. We welcome riders of all levels from novice to advanced and our goal is to provide a spectrum of equine activites, learning, friendship and fun for local riders of all ages and abilities. We offer training in a range of disciplines, from dressage and jumping to le trec and spookbusting. We run an annual camp at Milton Keynes Equestrian Centre - a great opportunity to get away with your horse and have fun with like-minded people. We also run our own summer evening dressage series, open to all levels, and friendly show jumping competitions - so there's something for everyone! If there is something you want that is not currently offered, do let us know.

EHV - We don't currently need proof of vaccination or EHV status to attend our club events. However, we do need to see proof of influenza vaccination for all entries to BRC qualifiers, and we do ask that everyone follows good biosecurity practice when at any of our events (keeping horses separate, not sharing tack & equipment etc)
