Welcome to the Gisborne & District Adult Riding Club, Victoria

About us
Gisborne is situated approximately 60km north of Melbourne along the Calder Highway in the Mount Macedon foothills. Gisborne & District Adult Riding Club is a club of about 60 members and was originally called the Couangalt Riding Club and was formed in 1991. Our aim is for horse riders to enjoy themselves and learn something along the way. We encourage members who want to go out and compete, and have had teams in all of the HRCAV Top Team Trophy events, often with riders who have not been out and about much before. All levels, breeds, steeds and genders welcome! Our rallies are usually on the second Saturday of the month and are held at the IR Robertson Reserve, Couangalt Road, Gisborne South. The grounds are well equipped with sand arenas, cross country course, club rooms, shedding and yards. We share the use of jumping equipment with the Gisborne Pony Club. The cross country course consists of a number of fences for levels 2, 3, 4 and 5. |
In the Winter months of July, August & September our rallies generally move indoors. In recent years we have enjoyed the great facilities at Jack's Run, Bolinda.
Rallies at the club grounds offer dressage, showjumping and cross country lessons and indoor winter rallies offer dressage and showjumping. We like to make our rallies social occasions which take the form of one hours lessons with groups of 2-3 riders with top shelf instructors. Lunch is usually available between 12pm and 2pm.
