Aberdeen Riding Club

Aberdeen Riding Club, led passionately by Sally McCarthy, is redefining horse riding in Aberdeen City. Determined to make horseback riding accessible to everyone, Sally’s vision breaks the elitist stereotype, inviting both seasoned riders and newcomers to experience the joy of equestrian sports.

The club boasts year-round indoor and outdoor arenas, offering flexible training sessions to fit all schedules. Whether it's a group dynamic you're after or personalised one-on-one coaching, Aberdeen Riding Club has it covered. Riders of all levels can also delve into horse care and groundwork, honing their skills both on and off the saddle.

With certified BHS coaches at the helm, safety and structured learning are paramount. Aberdeen Riding Club is also a top-notch training centre for aspiring coaches, providing the essential training and assessments needed for a career in equestrian coaching.

Operating as a non-profit, the club reinvests all fees back into its resources. This continuous reinvestment means better horses, top-tier equipment, and enhanced facilities, while also supporting local charities like the Riding for the Disabled Association and Befriend a Child.

Recognition has followed their commitment to excellence. Aberdeen Riding Club has scooped prestigious awards like the Scottish Equestrian Awards' Riding Club of the Year in 2018 and the Horse and Hound Club of the Year in 2018, alongside accolades for Sally McCarthy’s leadership.

Join the club, and not only do you receive premium instruction and access to quality horses, but you also play a part in uplifting the local community. Stay connected via their newsletter for updates, and explore membership options including trials, three-month introductory, and full memberships tailored for individuals and families.
