The Algarve Riding Club was founded in 1984 as a voluntary organization by horse enthusiasts seeking to improve the riding and knowledge of horse management of those in the Algarve. Some 20 years and many hundreds of events later these aims remain as true today as they did when the Club was founded.

A great deal of progress has been made and in addition to private horse owners, many of the riding centers in the Algarve are members and active participants in the Club’s events that include competitions, lectures, demonstrations and social events.

On this website you will find information on forthcoming events, results from past events, you can advertise goods for sale, read other members letters, download dressage tests and Club’s rules and regulations.

The Sponsors page includes links to our sponsors own websites and some riding centres in the Algarve are featured on the Riding Centres page. Should you have any queries about the Club or this website, how to become a member or sponsor the Club, or would like to help in Club’s events please contact us.
