White Mountain Riding Club is pleased to share local opportunities from Ellis River Riders in the Mount Washington Valley. Known for their welcoming, community-focused atmosphere, they offer group trail rides, shows, versatility fun days, cart shows, and gatherings that bring riders together to enjoy horses, scenery, and connection.
These events are a great way to explore new places, meet fellow equestrians, and enjoy time in the saddle outside of WMRC activities.

North Country Versatile Horsemanship
North Country Versatile Horsemanship Group is a group of people who love horses, spending time with their horses, sharing ideas about horses, spending time with other people who love horses and to learn more about all the things we can do with and for horses. We share ideas, post trail rides and get-togethers for 2026, share ideas on alternate treatment options for horses and share travel costs for horse care providers, and get together for clinics or classes geared toward improving our horsemanship. This is a space outside the show world to get together and talk about the versatility of the horse. Everyone is invited to join us for any event posted.
