Marion Riding Club

Marion Riding Club Welcoming all ages & abilities in a relaxed environment. A friendly club, welcoming all levels and abilities. a. b. c. d.

The Marion Riding Club Inc started as a Pony Club in 1960 and moved to the beautiful Shepherds Hill Recreation Park in 1970. We aim to ride and train our horses in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere, with members enjoying the social aspects of horse riding too. Event days are held throughout the year, with help from experienced trainers if requested. We focus on Working Equitation, hoping to establish a greater participation in SA. We share the core values of the national Working Equitation Down Under Association. Equine Welfare: Accepting that our relationship with our equine partners is a privilege, we believe that safeguarding the welfare of the horse is paramount. Respect: For each other, for the safety of ourselves and our horses, and for the health of the environment in which we all live and work. Inclusivity: Working together, we provide a meaningful equestrian experience for all of our members, from grassroots participation through to elite performers. Excellence: We reflect the highest aspirations of our members and work to inspire and empower them to reach their full potential through outstanding performance. We welcome new members & those who may just like to give it a try can choose Day
Membership. Nervous riders and young horses are given utmost consideration.

Thankyou everyone for attending our first event for 2026. The heat was on, but it didnt stop a lot of new and old members from coming and training on our obstacles this morning. And the best way to finish off is always with a lovely trail ride through the park. Hope to see you all at our Come and Try competition next month ๐Ÿฅฐ

FEI, along with EA are rolling out updated standards on helmets

As a standard rule, you should update your helmet every 5 years or after a fall or impact, so it might be time to head into your local saddlery and grab a new one, or check that it complies with the standards set out by the FEI and EA, which can be found on the EA website.

These are the current standards, and you will need a yellow EA tag or a green tag, depending on where your helmet sits with the new rollout. This can be done at most saddleries, just give your local one a call.

Current Australian standard AS/NZS 3838 (2006 onwards) provided they are SAI Global marked.
New Australian standard ARB HS 2012 provided they are SAI Global marked.
Current American standard ASTM F1163 (2004a or 04a onwards) provided they are SEI marked.
Current American standard SNELL E2001.
Current British standard PAS 015 (1998 or 2011) provided they are BSI Kitemarked.
Interim European Standard VG1 (01.040: 2014-12) with or without BSI Kitemark.
VG1 (01.040: 2014-12) with or without BSI Kitemark (remains until 31 December 2026).
