Meet the Teams

Brock University

Brock University has a long history of competing on the OCEA circuit. The Brock Equestrian Team only offers a competitive team option under Shara Pavan and Avanwhit Stables. The purpose of this team is to provide a competitive equestrian outlet for students in postsecondary programs to continue showing throughout their degrees. They also host various team social events and create a fun and supportive atmosphere while facilitating fundraising events.

McMaster University

The McMaster Equestrian Team was established in 2007 by a group of horse-loving McMaster students. The team trains out of Vector Equestrian under head coach Jenny Lineker. At this time, McMaster only runs a competitive OCEA team. The teams participates in weekly HPA workouts with a trainer and takes monthly lessons (with options for more!) at Vector. The team also hosts various social events over the course of the year!

Ontario Tech

Ontario Tech Equestrian was established in 2013 to bring students together for their love of horses. Based out of Dunnottar Farm with Joanna Buston, we are more than just a competitive team. We also offer an equestrian club for students wanting to be a part of the family without the commitment required for showing. OTU Equestrian is about building experiences on and off the horse.

Toronto Metropolitan University

The Toronto Metropolitan University Equestrian Team is based out of Stonewood Equestrian in Pickering. TMU offers both a competitive team and a non-competitive club, allowing students the most accessible means to ride while studying downtown. Established in 2010, we value our commitment to team spirit, zone camaraderie, connection with the horse, and most importantly, fun! We recognize that living in Downtown Toronto can make it difficult to access horse riding facilities, which is why we organize carpooling for both the club and the team. We want to ensure as few barriers as possible to the equestian sport, while providing a friendly and uplifting team for horse-loving TMU students. Formerly Ryerson University Equestrian Club.

University of Toronto

The University of Toronto Equestrian Club & Team is a tri-campus wide student group that began in 2008. Membership is open to any interested student studying at either of the St.George, UTM, or UTSC campuses and includes both recreational and competitive opportunities. We have formed our pillars on teamwork and cooperation, and we pride ourselves in keeping this up!
