Summer Clandon Park RDA Sponsored Ride 2024 in aid of Horsley, Bookham & Leatherhead RDA

By kind permission of Lord and Lady Onslow, Clandon Park is delighted to announce it’s sponsored ride, fundraising for Horsley, Bookham & Leatherhead Riding for the Disabled, across the stunning parkland at Clandon Park. After a successful launch we bring 2 events in 2024, 30th June and 22nd September.

Riders will have a unique opportunity to ride across this stunning, private 1,000 acre estate, on a newly opened course which will include optional jumps (60cm and 80cm). Three different ride options over approx. 2 and 8 mile courses. Lead rein option for small children. With beautiful views across rolling countryside.

Ride at your own pace, on your own or with family and friends. Riders will be started on specific time slots.

Entries for this ride are limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis. We envisage this event growing every year – so be one of the first to enjoy this new opportunity on the local equestrian calendar.

The organisers will endeavor to alternate start times between jumping / non-jumping entrants – please specify this in your entry.

• Child under 16 who raises the most sponsorship.
