We are a friendly, sociable club that invites ANYONE with an interest in horses and riding to come along and get involved. Catering for all abilities from Beginner to Advanced, the University of Manchester Equestrian Club offers the chance to establish and develop good horsemanship whilst developing riding ability. Based at John Shaw Equestrian Riding School, owned by National show jumper John Shaw, we receive excellent instruction in a variation of disciplines from show jumping and dressage through to happy hacking in the local countryside.

Not only does the club provide weekly instruction but alongisde the many social events arranged outside of the yard, there is also the opportunity to compete for the more advanced rider within the BUCS team and annually as part of the clubs Easter show.

Riding lessons take place every Wednesday at John Shaw Equestrian in Urmston. All our lessons are either half an hour at £12 or an hour at £20. Travel is by the number 15 bus (from outside the Stopford building) or by available spaces in the club members cars. We also have hacks every Thursday and if you are interested in these then contact Fiona House for more information.

The Club Show will take place on the 2nd May, so just before exams but not during! It will be the last day of riding so please let us know if you want to get involved!

It is such a good day, so much fun and definitely worth it!

So come along, bring some food and treats to the banquet and just be prepared for an excellent excellent day.

If possible, could you let the committee know as soon as possible which horses you would be interested in riding for both dressage and jumping. You MAY NOT get your first choice, but fingers crossed it will all work out!

So definitely see you there? Yes, yes I thought so.
