The Quesnel and District Riding Club was established as an amalgamation of two existing clubs, the Dragon Lake Riding Club and Bouchie Lake Saddle Club in 1986 and was registered as a not-for-profit society in 1991.
The QDRC is a not-for-profit organization run by a group of volunteer horse enthusiasts with the mission to promote fun and friendship through equine activities. Our meetings are held monthly. We provide an opportunity for people of all ages interested in horses to get together and participate in multidisciplinary riding activities and shows. The purpose of the club is to develop and promote interest in horses and excellence in horsemanship by offering equestrian sports and education for all ages, no matter the breed or type of horse a member might own. The Club is a member of the Horse Council British Columbia.
We welcome riders of all levels - from complete beginners..... to those competing regularly.
The club hosts English and Western Clinics, Fun With Obstacles Events, Horse Shows, riding activities for Juniors and fundraising activities and socials.
We host activities at the Alex Fraser Park (Quesnel), the Bouchie Lake Recreation Grounds (Bouchie Lake) and at facilities owned by members.
The club also supports the Quesnel Pony Club. Typical recent activities include Working Equitation shows, combined dressage/jumper shows, dressage test days and shows.
The Club also sponsors clinics and seminars in Working Equitation, eventing, dressage, centered riding, driving, natural horsemanship, and others and is open to suggestions for additional similar activities.
