Flying Arrows Corner

Join the Flying Arrows – everyone welcome

Each year, we need an influx of new riders to join the Flying Arrows and the ongoing continued development of our existing riders through attending the regular coaching sessions. Any young riders are welcome to join the Flying Arrows thereby building on the achievements of the past years and creating a team with strength in depth across as many aspects of our sport as possible. Equally as important is the ongoing parental involvement and assistance, such as with the Friday evenings sessions at Winton, the Calshot Saturday mornings, and the Mini Series events to be held this year at Sparkford, Winton and Kings Park.
