WELCOME TO NORTH DEVON RIDING CLUB.
We are a friendly riding club, based in Ifracombe, North Devon. Our events are open to all riders and we try to represent as many disciplines as we can, so there is something for everyone. We also organise many social events to bring your family along and find new riding friends and competition team mates.
