Saddle and Sirloin Club

Saddle & Sirloin was established on November 23, 1940 by the founders of the American Royal Livestock Show. What started as a booster for the show evolved into a private club serving members interested in equestrian sports, shooting sports, and fellowship in a country setting just minutes from downtown Kansas City.

The club moved to its current location—144th and Holmes in south Kansas City, Missouri—in winter 1999. The 326+ acre property came with an existing equestrian center and empty buildings. Within years, the northwest side was transformed into what members describe as a world-class shotgun shooting facility.

Members have access to:

• •Private trap, skeet, 5-Stand, and sporting clay courses
• •Private shooting instruction (lessons available to current members only)
• •Clinics, leagues, and competitions throughout the year

The facility features 100+ spacious stalls across six barns, 44 pasture spaces, and over 326 acres of trails. Horses receive three daily feedings, individualized special feeding when needed, daily turnouts, heated water in winter, and cooling options in summer.

Riding amenities include:

• •100' × 150' indoor arena
• •Two 125' × 230' outdoor arenas
• •Separate lesson arena for clinics and rentals
• •Dedicated jumping arena for hunter-jumper discipline
• •Multiple riding disciplines: hunter-jumper, arabians, dressage, endurance, competitive trail, working western, barrel racing, cowboy racing, foxhunting, cross-country jumping, 3-day eventing, and trail riding

Membership classifications grant access to different services. Member benefits include:

"Relax in the country without leaving the city" — Club philosophy

The club's mission is to be a private equine facility promoting equestrian sports across all disciplines while providing unique social and sporting opportunities. Members share common goals: provide a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere in a country setting; promote equine and shooting sports through facilities, clinics, leagues, and competitions; encourage fellowship through dining and social events; and honor the club's tradition of supporting the American Royal.

Lessons and use of all club facilities are restricted to current members only.
