The North Shore Riding Club is a members-only, not-for-profit club on Awanohi Road, in the Redvale area of Albany, set on about 230 acres. It was established in 1939 and has over 100 members. The club has three arenas: a lit 60 by 20 metre dressage arena, an adjoining 40 by 20 metre dressage arena and a 50 by 70 metre show jumping arena. The small arena fee applies only when an arena is booked, and members can share them at other times. Riders also use bush trails, paddocks and about 2 km of internal roads, with cross country jumps available in summer.
Members keep their own horses and must have one to ride at the club. Owners tend their horses every day, including hay and mucking out, and grazers look after their own. Herds of up to 12 horses rotate through the paddocks. There are stables and grass pens for a sick or injured horse, covered sheds for shoeing, grooming and clipping, wash bays, yards, a grass schooling area, a cowboy challenge playground, float and truck parking, toilets and clubrooms. Members are expected to attend working bees, and the club holds social events, riding activities and clinics through the year. The club is run by twelve volunteer officers, elected each year at the AGM.
