INTRODUCTION |
 Fife Riding Club was established in 1965 and currently has an annual membership of around 150. The club is one of the few organisations of its kind to have its own permanent showground at Western Avenue, Coul East, Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland, where members have the use of some 8.5 acres of grass together with two all-weather arenas, a sand schooling area and a large "Springturf" ring. “Springturf” is a grass, sand and rubber mix surface which offers extra give in the ground, even in the driest conditions.
The Club offers a busy and varied programme throughout the year including training in flatwork, cross country and jumping for all levels of ability from beginner to advanced. There are regular weekend shows, as well as mid-week evening competition in all disciplines. |
