Supporter Guidance for 2025

Hawick Common Riding Committee, in collaboration with the Rideout Working Party, has prepared three essential information guides. These documents provide key details on expectations, safety protocols, and disclaimers for riding participants, non-riding supporters, and horse owners/hirers. Our goal is to ensure safe, respectful, and well-organised events for everyone involved.If you are supporting Hawick Common Riding in any way, please familiarise yourself with the relevant guidance.
