About Us

Riding Together Since 1972

For over 50 years, Macclesfield & District Riding Club has been at the heart of the local equestrian community in Cheshire.

Whether you're a complete beginner taking your first steps in the saddle or an experienced competitor looking to join a supportive club, MDRC welcomes you with open arms. We're proud to be affiliated with British Riding Clubs and the British Horse Society.

We're happy to talk you through the classes and the rules of each different event to make you feel right at home. Our members range from youngsters and juniors to seniors, all sharing a passion for horses.
