The Classical Riding Club - Founded by Sylvia Loch in 1995.
A self-help networking Club promoting "Harmony in Horsemanship"


About The Club...

Since its inception in 1995, The Classical Riding Club has become a global force in the promotion of humane, logical and correct riding methods especially in dressage.

By promoting Classical Riding you have allowed us to Make a Difference to riders and horses everywhere. Please use this website to further your understanding of classical riding principles from the most basic to the advanced.

Whilst The Classical Riding Club is no longer a paid-up members club, the website is now open to all and has been since our 21st Anniversary when Sylvia decided to take a back seat after having run it single-handed since 1995. Her explanation is given here.

It also has a very active Facebook group with over 16,000 members from all over the world so it's a good way of networking. If you are interested in joining, then please do apply here (we ask applicants 3 questions to make sure members understand The Classical Riding Club ethos and so it can be run in a friendly and supportive manner).  There is also a Facebook Advertising Group which gives information about any events members think would be of interest to others, as well as any classical riding related items.
