The Gawler Trail Horse Riders Club encourages a non-competitive, social and responsible trail riding environment. Members have all sorts of horses from Pony to Draft and saddlery from English to Western and all sorts in between.
Note – Gawler Club Members and their visitors are required to wear Safety Helmets whilst mounted – helmet must be no more than five years old from Date of Manufacture.
Club trail rides are held at least once each month, usually the 3rd weekend of the month (Sunday calculated) & 5th Sunday also (if there is one). Training days are occasionally held & we try to hold camps approx 3-4 times per year. Dinner and a meeting is held in Gawler each month (1st Thursday) and a monthly newsletter is sent to members.
Trail rides include beach, road, paddock, moonlight, sunrise and forest to name a few, usually lasting for around 3 hours (some longer rides also), mostly walk & a little trot but some are a bit faster (detailed in newsletter), group size varies (average ~8). The social atmosphere of our rides finishes with a get together for lunch and a chat.
