C and A Rated Shows

Affordable show opportunities for dedicated riders

At Durham Equestrian Club, we offer both C and A rated showing opportunities for riders ready to take the next step in their riding journey. C-rated shows provide an accessible and supportive environment for intermediate riders to test their skills in the show ring, while A-rated shows challenge our most talented and dedicated athletes. Our program emphasizes hands-on horsemanship, with riders actively involved in caring for their own horses throughout show weekends. This approach allows riders to deepen their equine knowledge, builds independence, and helps keep overall costs manageable.
