This was my second year doing the SRCES with Queen Nora, and this time we stepped up a level. She’s come on so much over the last year, so it was lovely to come back, take on the bigger challenge and see how much more confident she’s become.

I love that you can track your progress throughout the season and then finish with a really well-run final, with an excellent cross country. It really has a championship feel — even at the lower levels. It’s friendly and supportive, but still gives everyone a great challenge.

And the prizes are genuinely excellent too! Such a brilliant series and a really lovely way to celebrate everything you and your horse have achieved over the season. So grateful to those that make it happen we will definitely be back!

My first full season eventing my youngster and first year with a riding club meant finding new venues for us to explore. Upon my research I came across the Scottish Riding Club Event Series which seemed a perfect way to start. Having always competed BE, I didn’t even know this existed and I’m so glad I found it! What a great way to introduce him to the world of eventing with welcoming and friendly events and no pressure.
With a busy business my time is limited so the series was a great way for me to pick and choose what events I could manage and then submit my scores online-easy! To my great surprise we were heading in to the finals up in Kirriemuir in pole position!
Auchlishe was a super venue for a young horse with lovely welcoming and educational courses. My pony settled in well to his overnight stable and came out the next morning refreshed and ready. A much improved dressage and double clear meant we retained our top spot, winning our class, the overall points champion and the Championship class also. What a way to finish our first eventing season and the prizes were amazing!
Thank you everyone at the Scottish Riding Club Event Series for being so welcoming and I’ll be spreading the word on what a great, relaxing and enjoyable experience this has been. I’ll be back!
