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.

Wilfrid Laurier University

The Laurier Equestrian team is nothing but a good time! The Laurier Equestrian team has been around since 2007 and we were one of the original teams! We offer a competitive team here at Laurier which consists of competing at shows throughout the season, as well as some fun team socials. Our team has been off to a great start this year, with all of our riders having great success and we are excited for the rest of the year! Feel free to reach out to our team via email at equestrianclub@laurierathletics.com and we will happily answer any questions about the team!

Laurentian University

The Laurentian University Equestrian Team is a group of passionate equestrians who come together to compete, ride, and share their love of horses. We welcome riders of all experience levels and strive to create a supportive, fun, and competitive team environment. The LU team rides out of Foothills Farm and is proud to represent Laurentian University on the OCEA circuit west zone. We are also incredibly proud to be supported by our largest sponsor, Northern Legacy Farm, whose support helps our team continue to grow and compete throughout the season!
