Development Squad
Our team with our lovely coach Paula Coward (pictured second from the left)
Our two development squads compete in a friendly league with other universities in the South West. These competitions are run in exactly the same way as BUCS however do not contribute to the university BUCS points. They are an amazing way to develop your skills and compete in a friendly environment before progressing to the BUCS level.
Each team attends four competitions throughout the year, both at home, and away. You will be riding a variety of different horses, and learning to adapt your riding style accordingly. Each competition consists of a dressage test, and a showjumping round (normally around 80cm). If you are interested, please make sure to sign up to our team trials at the beginning of next year!
Trials are hosted at the beginning of each academic year so keep an eye out for the trial product on the products page from the beginning of October.
Our teams have consistently done well, and individuals have consistently been moved up to the BUCS league after strong performances.
