Why join WEC?

WEC Members have anytime access to one of the Waikato’s finest equestrian training facilities. The WEC stretches over 45 hectares of scenic parklands lying within Hamilton City and bordering the Waikato River. The gently rolling grounds are largely sandy loam and provide good footing even through the winter months – ideal for pleasure rides or fitness raining. And with three sand arenas for schooling, including a pipe dressage arena (when available),  multi-level cross country facilities and practice show  jumping course you will be spoilt for choice. Day pens and washdown areas are also included as part of your membership.
