Riding
Hi all, welcome to SURC (Southampton University's Riding Club). We look forward to seeing you all throughout the year whether you are interested in trialling for teams, taking part in lessons or coming along to one of our great socials! We can't wait to see some old and new faces, all are welcome. Please come along to our bunfight stall in September, in the meantime if you have any questions feel free to email our riding account (riding@soton.ac.uk) or any of our committee members below. We are also active on our social media accounts, and encourage you to follow them to get the most up to date information!
The Riding Club aims to offer something for everyone, whether you have ridden on national teams or have never been on a horse before.
Some of the activities we offer:
- 2 BUCs competition teams with weekly training sessions
- A friendlies team who compete in the same style as BUCs but at a lower level. Also good for those who cannot commit to weekly training sessions
- Weekly lessons for all abilities (beginner to advanced)
- Regular nights out
- A variety of sober socials and non-riding activities
- Annual Christmas meal and AU Ball
We are also looking to offer:
- Regular hacks in the New Forset
