GOLD SILVER ASSOCIATE SOCIAL

Gold Membership includes a weekly ride* on a Saturday or Sunday at either 9.00, 10.15, 11.30 or 2.00

Like everyone working a 5 day week, my weekends are very precious and as a gold member, I love the fact that I am guaranteed one hour of 'me time' every Saturday morning. I can hack out on the beautiful common or choose to have a demanding lesson knowing I'll leave the stables on a high and feeling good about myself. Starting 2 years ago as a beginner, the care and consideration of the staff at WVS has helped me find confidence I didn't know I had. As a result, I love my riding, I love my Saturdays and I'm sure if I keep up my demanding lessons I may even get to be good at it!" Katja

SILVER MEMBERSHIP

Silver Membership includes a weekly ride* on a weekday, Tuesday-Friday at either 9.00, 10.15, 11.30 or 2.00

"Although theoretically I should have more time on my hands because I am not working full time I usually find myself rushing around trying to fit everything in. Being a Silver Member means that I know whatever happens I can get to ride every week when I want to and Sarah in the office is very good at changing my ride around if I get stuck. I tend to go away most holidays with my family but it’s nice to know that when I return I’ll be in ‘The Book’ and able to catch up again with my riding friends." Karen

Did you know that even if you are only able to ride during term time then it is still cheaper to be a Silver Member than ride as a non-member?

ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP

Associate Members do not have an allocated ride time but book rides as and when required and pay special Members rates.

"Associate membership is ideal for me because it's so flexible: I really value being able to ride at different times at weekends and during the week. Plus I love riding different horses regularly - it's great riding experience, and lovely to get to know them all. Being able to attend lectures and join in events is fantastic - they are a great complement to the riding - and, of course, the priority booking and discounted rates are a major bonus!" Briony
