YDRC Insurance Disclaimer
We would like all competitors and visitors at YDRC organised events to have a great time but the Committee would like to remind you, that yours and your horse’s safety is ultimately your own responsibility.
The YDRC committee request that all riding participants have adequate insurance cover in place, including third party (public liability) cover.
Members of YDRC are covered as part of their membership – as are individuals who are members of another affiliated British Riding Club (‘BRC’).
If not a member of any BRC club, in entering this event, you are confirming that you have satisfactory insurance cover in place.
The YDRC Committee reserves the right to request sight of your insurance policy before or at the event and should evidence of insurance not be forthcoming, then the Committee reserves the right to refuse your participation at the entered event. If refused the right to partake, your entry fee shall be forfeited. The Committee’s decision shall be final.
The First of our Series Dressage Competition off to a Great Start!
Due to the recent weather we decided not to hold the competition at the club field, but it went ahead at Whin Cover Farm instead on the 6th April ’24.
A great turnout for our first show of this year’s dressage series, which are held on the first Saturday of each month over spring/summer (see our events page).
Thank you to all who attended, and to our Chair Sue for hosting. A great day had by all.

YDRC’s First Group Hack!
On Sunday 5th November, the riding club’s first group hack went ahead!
A few YDRC members met up in Easingwold, and rode around Crayke, a very pretty neighbouring village.
We were so lucky to get some great weather! And of course, what hack would be complete without a cup of coffee and a bit of cake afterwards?
Info on the YDRC Hacking Group…
The point of this group is to meet other people in YDRC, while exploring a new route with your horse! We look after each other, and stay at a pace we are all happy with.
As the group grows, we will be doing rides for those who like to go faster, and those who like to go at a steadier pace.
We hope the group will encourage new friendships within the club, giving you more people to ride with.
The rides are completely free (aside from course hire, etc where you’d pay the venue’s normal rate).
We are planning to go to lots of local places together – Escrick park, Redcar beach, Yearsley Woods, Myton-On-Swale, Fountains Abbey etc.. But we’ll also occasionally meet at member’s yards (where possible), so they can show us their favourite route!
Usually a limit of 4 horses/riders per ride.
Would you like to join us next time….?
Anyone/everyone is welcome to join our hacking group.
Please be aware that although the hacks are being organised for YDRC members, you are hacking at your own risk – just as you would outside of the club. YDRC cannot take any responsibility for accidents etc.
If you’d like to take part, Email Amy on amyfwaite@gmail.com
Your Thoughts On… Organised Hacks with YDRC
We are considering running ‘organised hacks’ with the members of the club.
These would be for a small amount of riders for each hack (3/4 people each ride).
The idea is for someone to volunteer to ‘host’ the hack – the host must have space at their home/yard for others to come along, and the host takes the other riders round their favourite local hacking route. OR if you don’t have space at home but know a great place where a hack could meet, this could be an option also (IE Redcar beach).
This will be completely free, and hopefully a good social event for anyone to get involved in.
If you’d like to try being a ‘host’, or if you’re interested in attending a hack please Email the club on ydrcnewsletter@gmail.com and let us know you’d be interested in our ‘organised hacking’ idea… We’ll do the rest!
Clear Round Evening 22nd August
We had a great turnout for our clear round evening on the 22nd of August, organised by our committee member, Val.
A great way to practice taking your horse show jumping, in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Thank you to everyone who came along. Many of you are already asking when the next clear round evening is going to be held! We will hopefully be adding more to our calendar soon.
If you have any photos of yourself riding in this event please send your favourite to amyfwaite@gmail.com to be featured on our website/social media pages.
Thank you! YDRC x
Everything but the Horse
We had a great time, at our horsey car boot sale which was held on the 30th July.
We had a good turnout, and it was lovely to see some familiar – and new(!) faces over at our very own club field!
Thank you to all who came along – we hope you managed to find a bargain! Thanks to all sellers for coming – and of course the YDRC committee for making it happen.
A great sociable day, and we raised some money for the club too, what more could you want?
