‼️Membership fees‼️ It is with sadness that the EMDG committee have had to make the decision to increase our membership fee to £40 yearly. This is mainly due to the huge cost the BRC take from us to be an affiliated riding club, leaving us very little to help with the running our wonderful club. We do sincerely hope you will continue to support the...

Unfortunately due to increased costs for the EMDG we have had to make the decision to alter payments made available to our team members at BRC Area 16 championships. The club is unfortunately running at a loss this year and a huge bulk of our costs relate to Area 16 events. Therefore, from 1 January 2024, we will continue to pay the entr...
Unfortunately we are having to increase the cost of our clinic fees for the first time in many, many years. We do feel we are still very competitive at £25 per session for our members (£30 for non-members), but due to an increase in our costs, it has necessitated for us to alter our charges. This will take place from 1 June 20...
