Membership

Franklin County Saddle Club is proud to offer one of the finest horse facilities in our area. As a member, you will be able to participate in a wide variety of club activities and enjoy personal use of the grounds at your leisure.

The Franklin County Saddle Club was founded to preserve a premium equine facility where members can enhance their horsemanship, increase education, and enjoy fellowship with other like-minded individuals.

Established in 1956, Franklin County Saddle Club has served as a cornerstone of the local equestrian community for generations. Built through the dedication of volunteers and horsemen who believed in preserving a place to ride, learn, and grow, the club continues to honor its legacy by promoting education, horsemanship, and camaraderie. For nearly seven decades, FCSC has provided a welcoming environment where youth and families can develop their skills, build lasting friendships, and share a lifelong passion for the equine lifestyle.
