brief history of our club.
The club now known as Dragon Run Saddle Club began with approximately 20 members as the West Point Saddle Club in the mid-1960s. During those early years, members trail rode and held shows at the West Point airport. The club was, and remains, a family-oriented group that enjoys getting together to ride.
One of the most exciting events then was a 22-mile ride from West Point to Sandy Point in King William where the club camped out for two or three nights on the Pamunkey River. For 13 years, riders made their way to the river and home via unpaved back roads. For five of those years, the ride was judged. Eventually the club was no longer allowed to camp at the river and a treasured tradition came to an end. However, DRSC still goes on several camping trips each year to enjoy a variety of trails and trail-riding events across Virginia.
We encourage you to come to a meeting and get to know other horse enthusiasts in your community. We would love the opportunity to learn from you, ride with you, and incorporate new ideas and destinations into club activities.
We meet at 7pm, every second Tuesday of the month at Carters Cove clubhouse, located at 1 Carters Cove Dr, Gloucester, VA 23061. Everyone brings a dish to share.
