The club was formed in 1990 and was based at Matahiwi, west of Masterton. Originally called the ARC Angels, the club changed its name to reflect it's locations. However, we do have members from throughout the Wairarapa.

The club is also affiliated to the NZ Riding Clubs & Bridleways Inc, which was founded in 1981. This is the national body that governs the Adult Riding Club, who in turn is affiliated to the British Riding Clubs in the United Kingdom.

Our club has regular meetings to organise events for the coming months. (This is often a low key get together hosted at a members' home) A good variety of activites happen throughout the year, these include Hoof Camp, NITE, Show-jumping, Dressage, Cross-country, Games evenings, Treks, Book/video socials and meals. the idea is to keep it friendly and lighthearted!

We keep members informed through our interesting newsletters and emailed updates, and through this site.

Wairarapa's colours are red and green, so we thought if our name reflects our location, our colours should too!
We have poloshirts available in red with the club logo in green. Contact Alison Woollard for ordering one.
