Welcome to Kit Carson Riding Club

Established in 1942 — Colorado’s Oldest Active Riding Club

Located on 15 beautiful acres in Colorado Springs at the corner of Black Forest and Cowpoke Roads, Kit Carson Riding Club (KCRC) is a family-oriented, community-driven organization with a rich history and deep local roots.

Our facilities include two large arenas, bucking chutes, bleachers, a round pen, and an obstacle course—perfect for a wide range of equestrian activities. We also offer ample event parking and on-site horse boarding.

At the heart of our grounds is the KCRC clubhouse, where we hold monthly membership meetings and run our concession stand. The clubhouse also serves as a gathering space for local 4-H groups and other community clubs.

KCRC offers events and activities for all ages, including:

Gymkhanas
Trail rides
Overnight campouts
Parades
Horsemanship clinics

We are especially honored to co-host the Annual Ranch Horse Roundup alongside the National Versatility Ranch Horse Association (NVRHA)—a meaningful event dedicated to supporting our military veterans.

With over 80 years of history, Kit Carson Riding Club takes pride in preserving traditions while welcoming new generations of riders and families. Whether you’re a seasoned equestrian or just getting started, there’s a place for you here.
