Supporting Equestrianism in the Armed Forces 🐴
Warminster Saddle Club is proud to support the Armed Forces by providing a range of equestrian training, activities and opportunities for Service personnel of all abilities.
Whether you are completely new to riding, looking to improve your existing skills, or an experienced rider wanting to develop further, we can offer flexible options to suit individuals, units and military groups.
Our facilities, experienced instructors and selection of horses provide an ideal environment to learn, develop confidence and enjoy time in the saddle.
🐎 Military Camps
Our Military Camps are typically 2–3 days and provide an immersive introduction to riding and horse management.
Camps include two riding lessons each day, with participants able to ride one of our horses or, where appropriate, bring and ride their own horse.
Camps can be adapted to suit the experience and requirements of your group and provide an excellent opportunity to develop riding skills, learn more about horse care and enjoy a few days away from the usual working environment.
🏇 Military Courses
We offer a range of Military Riding Courses designed for different levels of ability, from complete beginners through to more experienced riders.
Courses focus on developing riding ability, confidence, horse management and equestrian knowledge, with content tailored to the needs of the participants.
We can also offer bespoke courses for units and groups, allowing the programme and duration to be adapted to meet specific requirements.
⚽ Wednesday Military Sports Afternoon
Our Wednesday Sports Afternoon provides Service personnel with an opportunity to get involved in equestrian activities as part of their military sporting programme.
It is a great way to try something different, develop riding skills and enjoy the physical and wellbeing benefits of working with horses, while spending time in a relaxed and supportive environment.
🐴 Introduction to Riding Days
Never ridden before? Our Introduction to Riding Days are designed specifically for those with little or no previous experience.
These sessions provide a friendly introduction to horses and riding, covering the basics of handling, grooming, horse care and riding, while building confidence and developing an understanding of how to safely work around horses.
They are an ideal way to discover whether riding is for you, with no previous experience necessary.
Why Ride with WSC?
Our aim is to encourage and promote equestrianism within the Armed Forces, providing Service personnel with opportunities to learn new skills, improve fitness, build confidence and enjoy the unique benefits of working with horses.
Whether you are looking for a one-day introduction, a Wednesday sports activity, a 2–3 day Military Camp or a longer military course, we can work with you to find an option that suits your requirements.
Courses and activities can be tailored for individuals, units and groups.
