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

July 2010 - Hello all, this update is long overdue, and I do apologize for taking so long in getting the presidents note update to all of you.  It has been a busy spring for our family.  We have been traveling with our daughter for High School rodeo, and with all of the extra traveling, packing up, cleaning up and then doing it all over again don’t leave us much time to get other stuff done.  Here are some updates.

Our Gymkhana season is well on its way with two events already completed.  Brenda Pierron our Gymkhana director is doing a great job.  We have had several new riders come out this year and this wonderful to see.  I know one of our directors Erin McQueen indicated the spring riding has been interesting, she compared some of the horses like riding Dynamite.    We also have a new cowgirl come aboard our executive, Christa Lange our new Clinics director.  Christa has several clinics already lined up and I encourage all of us to take a look at what she has planned for the summer and fall.  She is incredibly organized and a great addition to the club.  Click here to complete Christa's Clinic Survey.  This will help in the planning process for future clinics, so take a few minutes and fill it out.

We are also excited about some of our local rodeo kids and do high school rodeo.  A few of our present and past members have qualified for the biggest rodeo in the world, the High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette Wyoming July 18-24th.  Candace Chevallier (PRC member) qualified by winning BC High School Rodeo Queen and she also qualified in cutting.  Jessie Bates (PRC member) qualified in Pole Bending and Barrel racing, Nick Smith and Makwala Derickson-Hall in Bull riding.  All of these students are from Mt Boucherie High School and will be representing BC and Canada at the finals in Gillette.  Following that rodeo will be the Canadian Finals in Virden, Manitoba August 5-7th.  All of the students qualified to go to Canadians, and I know Candace and Jessie will be going to that rodeo.  It is amazing to hear about one student in the valley qualify for the finals, but to have four riders is outstanding.  Please wish these rodeo competitors a great trip as they travel south.

Well, that’s all I have for you now, look forward to talking to ya’ll next month.

God bless,
Blair Bates (2008-2010 PRC President)
