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,
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 winners!

We also have more formal events, for example, in previous years we have joined Rowing for their ball, and attended sports awards:
Membership fee: £50
Social membership: £10
Equipment (such as hats and boots) for riders can be borrowed from the riding school and Polo yard so is not necessary to purchase outright however we recommend riders to have their own equipment where possible, especially advanced riders, mainly for safety and hygiene reasons.
For an idea of basic equipment prices:
For advanced riders looking to compete they will need their own compition wear
Our club also has Team leicester sportswear however none of this is required to purchase for training or competitng.
