About FRRC

About FRRC

Fountain Riding and Roping Club was founded in 1969, by thirteen families of riding enthusiasts from Fountain, CO.  The first FRRC Gymkhana was held on December 7th, 1969!  The original members approached the City of Fountain with a request to use a section of the City's park land for horse activities. The City leased the land to FRRC and the hard work began! Land was cleared, ground was worked up, fences constructed, items donated, the clubhouse was built and through it all, the City of Fountain has assisted and partnered with the club to provide a PUBLIC arena for anyone to ride in when club events are not being held. 

FRRC is based in Metcalfe Park, located at 703 East Ohio Street in Fountain, Colorado.  As a  club, we are dedicated to promoting horseback riding and the western way of life. Riding is both a great sport and a fun family activity.  All breeds and riding disciplines are welcome!

Our club colors are red, white and blue.

Come join us! Plenty of bleacher seating is available, so bring your family and friends to watch the fun!

Our objectives (as written in the FRRC By-laws): 

1) To develop and promote good fellowship and sportsmanship among people who are interested in equestrian activities.

2) To encourage, promote, and develop the owning, care, use, handling and development of riding horses.

3) To promote and develop good horsemanship, together with the knowledge and interest in the care, training and breeding of good horses.

4) To promote and encourage the sport, pleasure, exercise and recreation of the members.

5) To encourage socializing and friendship among the members.

6) To manage and conduct entertainments, excursions, contests and social meeting for the members.
