Welcome to the Gainesville Riding Club!
    Mission Statement
    To stimulate interest in the ownership and training of horses and to promote community
    good will!

    We are a North Texas based riding club located in the heart of Horse Country in Gainesville,
    Texas. We are an organization that has a significant impact in the History of Gainesville.
    Our arena is the home of the Gainesville Rodeo and numerous other equine related
    attractions .Our goal is to encourage and apprise the importance of the equine industry in
    family oriented programs. We have introduced some wonderful new events for the year
    2009. Our goal is to educate individuals in the equine industry. Whether you are involved
    with the equine industry at this time or not, we encourage everyone to come on out and see
    what it is about. The equine industry can be enjoyable and beneficial for everyone. You
    don't have to be an avid rider or have years of experience to enjoy horsemanship.
                   
        We offer play days, barrel racings, exhibitions and practices and
    trail rides throughout the year.
    We also offer arena rental for exhibitions,
    practices, rodeos and seminars. Please contact
