Students spectating at an Equestrian event

Equestrian Club

The Equestrian Club is where you can find your fix of all things horsey.

The Equestrian Club is where you can find your fix of all things horsey, whether you choose to focus on growing and developing your skills during our riding lessons or decide to give competing a go. We can help you develop new skills all while meeting friendly and like-minded people.

We can offer you tailored lessons at amazing prices in both flat and jump as well as hacking and gymkhanas.

Our competition teams trial once a year where we look for riders who can compete for the University within BUCS leagues. 

As well as all these riding opportunities our committee arrange regular socials ranging from themed Wednesday nights out to meals out, bowling, and our annual riding trip to Sicily, open to all abilities. There is always something for everyone.

Club memberships for 2026/27 are available from Saturday 1 August.

Please note, for most Compete memberships, you will need to be selected for a team via the club's trials during our Give Me Sport event.
