West Zone
Meet the Teams
University of Guelph
The University of Guelph Equestrian Club brings together students interested in horses to participate in lessons, activities, and teams. Club members can participate in field trips, quizzes, movie nights, clinics, and more. Proudly based out of Old Orchard Farm with Linda Hale.
University of Waterloo
The University of Waterloo Equestrian Club was founded in 2005. The grounding principle was to have a student run club which promotes the equestrian sport through events, clinics, socials and competitions. Although the club started out small, the club has grown each year, allowing more events and ideas to substitute the equestrian world most members had to leave behind when they start university.
Western University
Western Equestrian Club was re-established in 2006, and became a Campus-Recreation affiliate club in 2011. Western Equestrian Club’s goal is to provide equestrians attending school at Western with the opportunity to stay involved with horses, whether you personally own one or not! Western Equestrian Club includes three different competitive teams, lessons and events.
