Teams

High Wycombe Riding Club enters Teams of riders each year, Junior & Senior, with the aim of giving our Members the opportunity to compete in good company, together with the hope of making it through to the Championships. We have been very successful in the past few years and look forward to keeping up our good record. There are various standards in the Qualifying rounds and we hope we have covered the basics of explanation to those who may be interested in taking part. Come to our Team Information Evening to learn more.
