Locals started the Riding Club with many local families involved including, the Ralphs, Skivingtons, Tillmans and Bakers. e Club has always been run by volunteers with any pro ts being ploughed back into the Club for jumps and other equipment. e Club has strived to keep its annual subscription and entry fees as cheap as possible, they pride themselves on being a club that o ers something for every age and ability to enjoy. When the Farm had new tenants, Mopley Riding Club used Fawley Common as a base but Cadland Estate kindly let the Club use a eld on the road to Calshot. e opportunity to return back to Mopley Farm was o ered by Cadland Estate, with the Club returning to the Farm in March last year, giving the Riding Club use of a sand school for training and events. Since returning to the Farm, the Club has had to rebuild fencing and renovate the sand school; they have also managed to build a small cross country course through the woods. To help raise funds to enable these works, the Club set up a Just Giving page which received a massive amount of support, they also held a quiz night and a local pub donated the pro ts to the Club from its quiz night. e Club runs at least one event every month, o ering a range of jumping days, schooling sessions, quiz rides, fun activity events, summer day camps for children and adults, an annual show, Halloween capers and then culminates with a Christmas Ride event. Mrs Gilly Drummond is the Club’s President and has Nadia, Milo and Esme, Mopley Riding Club to ride through the private grounds of the Estate for the 2024 Christmas Ride, as they had done for their 50th Anniversary. Held as a charity fundraiser, the Christmas Ride also raised £700 for Hampshire Search and Rescue, who came to the aid of a member’s father who went missing locally in the summer. Continuing with the charity fundraising, they will also be raising funds for Oakhaven Hospice with a quiz night later this year. Mopley Riding Club is about having fun in the fresh air and making friends and so long may it continue.
