Grassroots Show: Riding at University in the UK

Imagine having just 7 minutes and 2 warm-up jumps to get ready to compete on a horse you have only just sat on. Welcome to riding at university in the UK!

With unique styles of competitions and a great social life university riding can be a great way of getting into or keeping up with a sport that you love. Many people find the juggle between riding and university a difficult one, so we have 3 guests to chat through their memories of riding at uni, how to get involved with riding at uni and the types of competitions.

Guests:

Libby Seed is a 5 event rider working in the medical industry. She rode at the 5-star level while at uni and also competed as part of the Exeter BUCS team and GB Student Riders. She has travelled all around Europe as part of GB student riders and competed in multiple World Championships.

Sophie Hall is a Model, Content Creator and Grassroots eventer who was also part of BUCS and GB Student Riders. Like Libby, she has travelled around Europe as part of GB student riders and competed in many World Championships. She now manages the GB Student Riders teams.

Sophie Davidson is the BUCS Equestrian Captain at Liverpool University and has competed in multiple BUCS competitions throughout her time at Liverpool. The training and competitions have allowed her to progress her riding rapidly while finding a group of like-minded people to talk all things horses.
