Clinics and Training

We run a variety of clinics and training courses throughout the year. During the year we will normally be holding our Show Jumping Clinics at Felbridge Showground or Alder Lake Farm. Our Cross Country clinics will now be on our new Cross Country training facility at Bucklands Farm or at Coombelands when it is not available. Dressage training is normally with Robbie Carpenter at Belmoredean, but we also have Flat Work training at Bucklands Farm with other trainers. From 2019 we have added Arena Eventing which will either be at Pyecombe, Hickstead or Coombelands.

If you wish to book an Area 13 or BHS West Sussex Clinic or Training you need to contact the organiser from Area 13 or BHS West Sussex as soon as the clinic is posted on this page, since places are limited and are filled very quickly. Do not contact ARC in respect to these clinics and training.

To book an Ardingly Riding Club organised Clinic or Training you can now book and pay for the clinic or training online. Your place will not be reserved if you have not paid in advance of the clinic or training you wish to attend. Payment is via PayPal, but you do not need to have a PayPal account to pay using PayPal; they accept payments by Credit or Debit Card. When you press the Submit button on the booking form you will be taken to a PayPal page. The PayPal page that you see could be one of 3 different screens:
1. Has the ability to Login In to your PayPal account at the top, but below that has the menu below to fill in card details with a Pay Now button at the very bottom.
2. Has the ability to Login In to your PayPal account at the top but underneath in a grey bar states Pay by Debit or Credit Card. If you press on that bar a new screen opens where you can fill in all your card details with a Pay Now button at the very bottom.
3. Has the ability to Login In to your PayPal account at the top but underneath in a grey bar states Create an Account. If you press on that bar a new screen opens where you can fill in all your card details with a Pay Now button at the very bottom. You do not have to open a PayPal account.
4. Even if you have a PayPal Account and you enter your email address and press Login In, the next screen also gives you the option Pay by Debit or Credit Card.

Refunds for clinics or training due to unforeseen circumstances will only be given if a replacement participant can be found and only then at the discretion of the club officials. A 2.5% deduction will also be taken to cover PayPal charges and administration fees incurred by the club.
