Team Solent's equestrian club has only been running for four years and continues to develop its styles. Different stables are used to offer training in traditional riding, which includes flat work and show jumping, and using another stables to offer coaching in 'Ride With Your Mind'| associated with Intelligent Horsemanship|.
Membership Cost: £165 for the academic year 2011/12.
Training: Team Solent are currently in partnership with two riding stables to offer the widest range of equestrian experience. These stables are Gleneagles|, where the majority of our beginner and intermediate riders go, and Crofton Manor|, where our competitive team ride. Both stables are relatively close to the University and both provide excellent opportunities to ride. The team go to Gleneagles Riding Centre| on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays lessons.
Competition: The equestrian team compete in the University BUCS| Leagues, which are on a regional basis. This involves four events which comprise both jumping and dressage. Teams and individuals can progress into national events from there. The first event of the year for BUCS will be in November. We also host a number of events amongst our club members throughout the year.
