Welcome to the
Peachland Riding Club
 Peachland Riding Club (PRC) is located in beautiful Peachland British Columbia. We have over 8 acres of gorgeous park land with a multitude of trails, a oversized main arena and 2 huge warm-up arenas. We have a full concession on site and a beautiful Clubhouse that holds approximately 110 people and hosts all sorts of different events. In 2008 we built a new announcers building; a great addition which is a 2-story facility that gives timers and announcers a great panoramic view of the whole arena. The Peachland Riding Club grounds and clubhouse are a great place for your next function (Rental Info).
Our club was founded in 1969 and has grown ever since. Besides the monthly Gymkhana Shows that we hold throughout the riding season, we now also hold other events such as Western Heritage, Can Trek, Little Britches and High School Rodeos. Our club also participates in Peachland's 2 yearly parades.
Thank you for visiting us and please feel free to leave us a comment or suggestion and if you need to get a hold of anyone check out the contacts list for further info.
PRC Message from the President
 January 2010 - Hello all, I hope you all had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. Firstly I want to congratulate our 2009 winners. It was a great Gymkhana season and one that will go down in our history as a very competitive one in which many riders were very close in points and some cases the winners were only decided on the last day of the year. As 2010 is already here our new executive have already met to begin the process of setting up the dates for the Gymkhana season, discuss potential clinics, high school rodeo, handing out the duties, and ensuring we get all of our ducks lined up for this year. Our new executive for 2010 are Trecho Demattos Vice president, Holly Dickenson, Treasurer, Erin McQueen, Secretary, and yours truly, Blair Bates your President. We also welcome Brenda Pierron as our new Gymkhana director, Sandy Chevallier continuing as rodeo director, and Diana Chevallier continuing as Awards director, Holly and Tim Dickinson, Grounds director, and Darlene Pappas as our phoning director. We welcome all of you for 2010; please lend all of your support to these people as they lead us into this new season.
Secondly, there are some updates that you need to be made aware of for this year. The membership fees have changed, we voted as a club in October AGM and approved the following, single memberships are now $50 and family memberships are $75.00. The Gymkhana season has been decided upon but is tentative and subject to change. There will be some adjustments as the year progresses; we want to ensure all of our riders have the opportunity to compete here in Peachland and abroad. This year will be a year of transition, there will be new people running the Gymkhana season, which will include new judges, new announcers, new Gymkhana leader, and new grounds keepers. With these new leaders comes a transition and with this transition will require patience and a willingness to assist the leaders when necessary. The success of any club is its ability to increase in leadership, with new leadership brings on more members. I am really excited about our new leaders this year because there is a fresh enthusiasm that they are bringing into our meetings, with new ideas, willingness to learn the ropes, and taking the reins to ensure the future of this club and the success of riders who come and go. This is a testament to the kinds of people Peachland Riding Club attracts.
For this winter there are some clinics taking place, a pole clinic is being planned presently by Sandy C. I know from last year many of the riders who took the pole clinic have greatly increased in their ability and times.
Sandy is also in loop for another clinic in equine massage therapy. Please contact her for details.
Finally as this years president it is my duty to ensure we maintain our regular events and ensure we stay on track. This year we will be on the High School rodeo circuit and so some of you might see me and my family as much but I will be working in the background and when we are in town we will see you at the Gymkhana rodeos. Until then happy trails and God bless
Until then happy trails and God bless,
Blair Bates (2008-2010 PRC President)
