Public benefits
The benefits that flow from our purposes are many and diverse and include members and the general public. Members derive a number of important benefits from the club. These include an increased sense of camaraderie and solidarity that come from collective activities, which members would not be able to undertake as individuals. Members also benefit
greatly from an enriching peer-to-peer learning environment and obtain a sense of empowerment as a result. Members gain in knowledge and experience through the club, which enhances the safety of drivers and horses alike. Members also benefit by way of increased familiarity with and enjoyment from the countryside. Finally, members experience improved mobility and derive health benefits through outdoor activities. These benefits are evidenced through direct feedback from members at our events and monthly meetings. Another important piece of evidence that the club is produced these benefits is the fact that members stay and new members join year after year. Non-members also enjoy a number of important public benefits. First, the club leads to an increased interest in equestrian matters and activities among the general public. Second, the club provides a space for the general public to come together as spectators at drives, which produces enjoyment in a safe and relaxing environment. Evidence that these latter category of benefits are produced comes directly from positive feedback from spectators and high attendance levels at our club events.
