  Welcome to the North Oxfordshire Riding Club
  (NORC) web site.

  NORC is affiliated to British Riding Clubs forming part of
  Area 5 and has been established since 1980 and now
  has over 80 annual members.

The Club offers a varied program throughout the year, including training clinics in flat work, cross country and show jumping by a variety of qualified instructors. The clinics have no more than 4 horses in each session and we aim to cater for all levels of ability from novice to advance. All forthcoming dates and bookings are provided via the web site.

NORC holds an annual camp over a long weekend usually in July. This includes training each day in all three disciplines. The camp is open to any member at any level and the main aims are to have fun, meet other club members and to enjoy a weekend away with our horses.

There is also a Dressage League that runs monthly from March to November. This is an in house competition and although competitive our aim is to encourage members to come and enjoy competitive dressage without too much pressure.

The Club also has an Annual Show in August, and this is the main fundraiser for the Club, it has grown hugely over the years, and has been going for 31 years. There are many different classes to enter, and it is open to members and non members. Watch the NORC Annual Show page on this website for entry forms and more information nearer the time.

NORC is always looking for members who wish to compete in team competitions at all levels and disciplines against other Riding Clubs in
our Area. These competitions can lead to competing at the various
Riding Club National Championships. If you are interested in joining a
team please contact Barbara Conner who will be pleased to provide
further information.

NORC also holds social events which include pub rides, fun rides, BBQ
and meals out.

Some of the benefits NORC offers to their members include discounted entry fees at our annual show which is held in August, together with subsidised training clinics. NORC aims to be a friendly club which
welcomes everybody at every level.

Welcome once again
