The McMaster Equestrian Club was founded in 2006 and we continue to
grow and attract new horse enthusiasts
each year! The Club was started in the hopes of gathering McMaster
students with a passion for horses. As a club, we offer
English based riding lessons and host club social events like trips to
the Royal Winter Fair and a variety of clinics. We also hosted our first
OUEA show last year and look forward to seeing everyone again this
year! Our competitive team attends all the shows on the OUEA circuit and
due to
the large amount of interest, we will be hosting try-outs for spots on
the 2010-2011 competitive team. Please check our website for updates
and feel free to e-mail us for more information.

The Team was started as a general club in the Fall of
2002 as the first Canadian intercollegiate team to join the IHSA in
over a decade. It was created by then student Henna Hussain and coach
Simone Williams. What started as a four member team has now grown to
an average of twenty riders.
Since the Fall of 2003, the team has been a
University of Ottawa Competitive Sport Club and can now use the Gee
Gees name to represent it. This means that we are governed and
recognized by the University's Sports Services and are able to use
many of their resources, however we receive minimal funding. Most
costs are covered by Player Fees and fundraising.

LEC hosts a lesson program, special events, clinics, socials, trips and of course horse shows. LEC plans to continue its involvement in the ongoing development of the OUEA and looks forward to the upcoming season.
