Welcome to the website of The Ipswich Horse Society

Our September charity ride, with its earlier start, was a great success - please go to our show and rides page for more details.

Our 2023 Summer ride took place on Sunday, 16h July at Park Farm, Stonham Aspal - we'd like to thank the Turnbull family and Hog and Hen Farm Shop/Cafe for giving us access to their lovely farmland and facilities again this year. See our Show and Rides page for more details.

We'd like to send a huge thank you to our friends, volunteers and all who participated in last year's events - your efforts have helped some very deserving local organisations.

For details and a summary of our events, past and present, please go to our Show and Rides page.

Other news and copies of our newsletters can be found on the News page.

The Society was formed in the early 1970's with the aim of raising funds for local charities from the proceeds of equestrian events. Visit our About Us page to find out how we started and what we have achieved so far.

Each year we hold two very popular pleasure rides. The first ride is held late spring / early summer with the second being our autumn ride in September

Sadly, due to rising costs and falling numbers of entries, our regular Easter Monday show will not take place.  We'd like to thank all the competitors and volunteers who supported this event for over 40 years and helped raise much needed funds for local charities. 

If there is anything else you'd like to know, or if you would be interested in offering sponsorship (or volunteer some help) at any of the events, then please get in touch - we'd love to hear from you.

OVER THE YEARS THE IHS HAS RAISED AND DONATED OVER £100,000 TO LOCAL CHARITIES/ORGANISATIONS! FOR A SHORT REPORT (page 1) AND A FULL LIST (page 2) OF THOSE WE HAVE HELPED CLICK HERE
