Welcome to UEA Equestrian Club! Open to all students at UEA, we offer lessons for new, social and competitive riders at three equestrian centres across Norfolk. We aim to provide socials alongside riding for all our members, ranging from socials at the LCR and Christmas dinners to talks and events from equine professionals. Alongside our socials, we are very proud of our fundraising achievements - winning the Outreach & Community Award at the 2017 Sports Awards. We work with our local RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association) to offer volunteering opportunities for our members as well as running fundraising events on campus. In our competitions, we compete against Essex, Writtle College, Cambridge and Easton College in our BUCS leagues, as well as going head-to-head against Essex on Derby Day.

Recent History

Competing has been better than ever last year, with our first team qualifying for the regionals for the first ever time and lots of individual placings being won by both our teams.

Our Christmas Ball is always a highlight, this year at Mr Postles Apothecary.

Attending Newmarket Races at the start of the year for the day!

Our beach ride and gymkhanas are always popular and a chance to wind down.

Ponies on the Square fundraiser is well attended, very cute shetland ponies loving the attention on the Square to raise money for the RDA.

Volunteering every week at our local RDA, helping give back to the community and help riding to be accessible for all.
