Tasters

Discipline	Date
Equestrian @Somerby	2nd Oct
Polo @ Offchurch Bury	6th Oct

 

Recreational Riding lessons are provided weekly and cater to all abilities. We offer recreational fun lessons on Wednesday afternoons for all levels and abilities. 

Riding Lessons: Every Wednesday between 2:30 and 4:30.

Our Polo yard is located in Offchurch Bury. Here the horses are polo ponies and we have an experienced polo instructor who teaches members with various riding abilities. Polo is an exciting, fast-paced sport, but no previous riding experience is needed. Come along to one of our taster sessions and have a go!

Our Polo lessons usually take place on a Wednesday (4:30pm) and Sunday (12pm).

Being in a team is great fun and a good way of being involved in the club, however we also hold other activities such as intraclub competitions so that both team and non-team members can enjoy the excitement and involvement of attending competitions. 

A team complete a Novice/Elementary level dressage test and jumps up to 90cm in the first round, with the height of the jumps increasing up to 1.20 at national levels! 

B Team complete a prelim/novice dressage test and jump up to 80cm in the first round with jumps going up to 1.10 at the national level.

Our development team rides in friendly competitions across the region completing the B team dressage test and jumps up to 70cm. These competitions are more relaxed and allow a wider group of people to compete for their university, 

Training 

Our team training is more serious than the recreational Wednesday lessons. We focus on the scales of training and work towards all advanced riders being able to complete a novice dressage test and competently jump a course of jumps at a height you are comfortable with. 

A team and B team: Monday evening 

Development Team and Advanced lesson (in the style of team training): Thursday Evening

Your 2024 Varsity winner!

Teams compete in polo in both SUPA competitions and regular friendly matches. Every lesson also ends with practise matches for you to improve as a team.

For the past 3 years we have been sending teams to Summer and Winter Nationals and we look forward to sending more this year!

We are a very social club and offer lots of different socials from bar crawls and nights out, to meals and trips to ‘horsey events’, such as the Your Horse Live. We always have a great mix of nights out and non drinking socials so there will be something for everyone.
