McMaster University


The McMaster Equestrian Club was founded in 2006. As a relatively new club on campus, 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.  Last year,  we had twelve riders on our competitive team and did fairly well considering that most of our riders were in their first year of university.  As Club, we offer English based riding lessons and host club social events like trips to the Royal Winter Fair. We are a very friendly group of girls and are excited to be members of the OUEA for the 2009-2010 show season! Due to the large amount of interest, we may be hosting try-outs for spots on the 2009-2010 competitive team. Please check our website for updates and more information

Trent University

 

The Trent Equestrian Club, founded in 2002, focuses on bringing avid equestrians together to enrich learning. Students can participate in lessons, club events, fundraising activities and social gatherings. For the 2007/2008 school year the Trent Equestrian Club aspires to bring educational sessions and clinics with highly qualified professionals from the equine community.

The Trent Equestrian Team, founded in 2004, is a derivative of the Club. The team travels to New York State to compete in Zone Two, Region Two of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA). In the 2007/2008 the team will also compete in the newly formed Ontario University Equestrian Association (OUEA). This will be the first year for an OUEA team and we are very exciting about this new opportunity. The Team is determined through tryouts which are held at the beginning of the school year. Equestrians of all skill levels can compete in the IHSA and OUEA, ranging from Beginner walk-trot divisions to 3'+ over fences.

Laurier Equestrian Club was founded in the fall of 2004.  It's goals were to bring together the horse enthusiasts attending WLU and give them the option to enjoy their passion away from home.  It is safe to say that LEC has completed its goal, growing from a small group to quite the club spanning two campuses.  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.
