About Us
The SASC is a family orientated horse riding club located in the beautiful picturesque Port Stephens. SASC caters for riders of all ages and abilities. Sporting days are held once a month between February and December.
How we do things
There are eight events in the morning (ribbons given for 1st to 5th, points awarded for 1st to 5th for the open competitive groups). After lunch there are three events, which are made up on the day, and place getters receive great prizes. Some of the events we run are bending, flagging, barrels, keyhole, cup race, hopkirk and many more.
