BUCS provides the opportunity for those who are more advanced to compete for the University. If you are able to ride a novice dressage test, jump upto 2'9 (85cm) and get on and ride a variety of horses then why not give the trials a go? UWE Equestrian has 2 BUCS teams who train every other week - commitment to the training sessions is required! If you have got the effort and dedication required then why not sign up! Information about sign-ups and trials will be released on our Facebook page nearer the time.
For those who are unsure about the seriousness of BUCS, the commitment involved or never had the opportunity to compete why not try for our Friendly team? This is exactly the same set up as BUCS but not (quite) as competitive and has a more 'fun' feel! It will provide you with the opportunity to experience a competition and meet other people who are just as horse mad as you!
We also hold a range of socials which include regular nights out (most commonly UWE sports nights at PAMS on a Wednesday), meals, day time activities, yearly trip to Badminton and much more! We like to do our bit for charity too, we cant wait for the 2023/2024 season !
If you have any questions feel free to contact us either via instagram (@uwe_equestrian) or email (uweequestrian@gmail.com) - we will aim to reply as soon as possible!
Instagram is also our main way of communicating with you so make sure you are following us!
Make sure to monitor our Indsatgram page for when the give-it-a-go lessons go live! Come along and have a go at riding without having to join the club until you know you love it!
We look forward to meeting lots of new members and welcoming you to the club!
