Windsor Park Equestrian Club (WPEC) prides itself in being an all inclusive club, running under British Carriagedriving (BC) rules (www.britishcarriagedriving.co.uk).

There are classes for everyone from beginners to international competitors. Members and non-members are welcome to compete in single, pair, tandem or team classes in the picturesque Deer Park within Windsor Great Park.

Most of our events are run over two days, the first day (Saturday) we hold the dressage and cones sections of the event and on the Sunday, we run the Marathon phase. Competitors can choose to enter the phases individually or combined.

The marathon route takes competitors throughout the deer park and into other areas within the Great Park, we are privileged that some areas we can use on the marathon course are private areas not open to the general public, allowing our competitors views of the Great Park not usually accessible.

For non-competitive carriage drivers WPEC offers a pleasure drive on Marathon day (usually on the Sunday), the course follows the same as the marathon without the obstacles. Pleasure drivers drive the course after the marathon has finished.

For any two day event, competitors can stay on site in the Deer Park from the Friday and for one day events competitors can stay on the Saturday night. Please note that the parking is within the Deer Park where wild deer herds roam.
