It was a dedicated group of volunteers who started the Vernon District Riding Club, and since then, many generations of members have kept it operating, growing, and thriving.

NEW FOR 2025: Rise & Shine Member Socials

5pm Last Wednesday of each month

April 30, May 28, June 25, July 30, August 27, September 24, October 29

Come ride your horse (optional), enjoy visiting with friends, share some food and beverages, learn more about the Club and our goals and share ideas to make the Club better. Open to friends and family of members. Opportunities available during this time to fill volunteer hours too!


Volunteering is an integral component of the VDRC and it is through members offering their time that we can operate and improve the club and continue to enhance our community.

There are many ways to volunteer at the VDRC, we are thankful for any time and skill you have to offer to contribute to the riding club. For example, volunteering is needed in the following areas:

  • Board of Directors
  • Horse Shows
  • Clinics
  • Social Events
  • Club Maintenance
  • Fundraising
  • Food Services

We have a Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/vdrcvolunteers/) where we advertise specific volunteer opportunities that arise throughout the season.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

For volunteering inquiries, please contact Linda Edwards (250-542-9953, email), OR we also encourage members to take initiative and reach out to the appropriate VDRC Committee (see Contact Us for list of committees) if you have a specific volunteering job you are interested in doing.  Furthermore, if there’s a specific event you want to volunteer for, please contact the event manager.
