University of Portsmouth Equestrian Club

Interested in joining one of our competition teams? 💜

Equestrian BUCS has a unique style; you are judged on your effectiveness as a rider on a horse that you have never ridden before! You will ride a dressage test on a random horse and then jump a course of showjumps on another.

Here at UPEC, we train on a range of horses, to prepare ourselves for competitions and learn how to adapt to each horse’s way of going! (P.S. You do not need your own horse to join our teams!) 🐴

Never competed before or looking for a more relaxed competition environment? ✨

Are you confident at jumping a course of 60cm and riding a walk/trot/canter dressage test? Here at UPEC, we have a friendlies riding team built just for you, competing in a BUCS style without the added pressure!🐴

Read the post above for some more information, and as normal, please ask any questions for us. More information on applications will be out soon, so keep an eye on the socials! 💜

Ready to take your horse riding to the next level? 🐴

UPEC has two BUCS teams, competing in both dressage and showjumping against universities across the country! We’re looking for confident, experienced riders who are ready to put their skills to the test. 💜

Have a look through this post to find out what we’re looking for, what you’ll need to be able to do, and what to expect from BUCS at UPEC!

Applications will be opening soon, so keep an eye on our socials for all the details 👀

We can’t wait to meet our new riders — and welcome some familiar faces back — this September! 🐴💜
