Eau Claire Bit & Spur Saddle Club
Offering Halter, Showmanship, Western & English disciplines
Welcome to The Eau Claire Bit & Spur Saddle Club website. The Bit & Spur Saddle club has been in existence since the early 1900's. All of Bit & Spurs shows are WSCA and Wisconsin Horse Council Championship show qualifying. Shows are held May - September. Our facility offers a rustic log cabin which serves as our main station where we have our entry stand, food stand and a place to relax. We also offer an 82 stall barn, exercise arena and camper hook ups.
