Part of BHS
Polnoon is Affiliated to British Riding Clubs (BRC), which is part of British Horse Society (BHS).
BRC is divided into geographic areas. Polnoon is within Area 1, which covers the southern half of Scotland. The northern part is Area 22.
There are many benefits to being a member of an affiliated riding club, not least 3rd party insurance while involved in a riding club activity.
But the main function is the provision of competitions. There is a range of BRC competition run every year. These competitions are run as Qualifiers in each Area; area championships if you like. Finals are held in England.
Polnoon has had considerable success over the years, winning a number of Championships in a range of disciplines. A few years ago, Polnoon won the area qualifiers in every discipline and went on to take UK Championship victories as well.

Club Sponsors
The club is very fortunate that it has had the support of many, wonderful sponsors over the years. Some sponsor a single class at an event while others sponsor whole shows, teams expenses and other things. Every bit of help is welcomed gratefully. Without our sponsors, the club would be much less successful.
