Ansty Shilton and Barnacle Riding Club

Welcome to the Ansty, Shilton and Barnacle Riding Club.

We are a friendly amateur riding club based in the Warwickshire countryside on the Withybrook road near Bulkington, we hold shows and activities from the first Sunday in April to the first Sunday in October. Our fortnightly Sunday shows include a mixture of Show jumping, gymkhana, ridden and in-hand showing classes.

At the end of the season we have a Presentation night where trophies are awarded – To be eligible to win an end of year trophy in any class, a member must have competed a minimum of four times in that class during the year.

All persons wishing to take part in ANY class must be a full member of Ansty Shilton and Barnacle Riding Club. Everybody is welcome and there is no age restriction for membership.

All riders should have their own Public Liability insurance in order to be able to compete at ASBRC shows. ASBRC also strongly recommends that all riders have Personal Accident insurance for all horses/ponies they ride.

Although we are now living in a world with covid, we would ask that if you do test positive that you do not attend the show to help protect our other members.

Photos taken on the day will be available to view and purchase from Spiderweb PhotoGifts

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us We hope to see you at our shows.
