As a first-year undergraduate with no prior horse riding experience, I still remember the warm welcome from the committee at the Welcome Fair, the picnic social in Regent’s Park, and the cowboy/girl-themed sports night. These events introduced me to this incredible community and gave me the confidence to try horse riding.
At first, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to commit to riding, but after attending the social events, my thoughts have changed. Meeting welcoming members, hearing from experienced riders, and bonding at these gatherings made me realise how special this society is. I want to create similar opportunities for beginners—introducing them to horse riding in a supportive way while strengthening connections between members. Whether through themed socials, group activities, or team events, I hope to make our society even more inclusive and engaging.
Some of my recent memorable experiences include the pub social with the City of London Equestrian Team, which motivated me to join more riding sessions, and the 5K run in Regent’s Park, which strengthened our bonds.
With experience in organising student-led events since secondary school as a head girl, planning large-scale activities in sixth form, and contributing to my department’s EDI committee, I love creating and planning events based on many ideas and opinions collected. As a Social Secretary, I would be dedicated to continuing the amazing work of the current committee and making the society as welcoming as it was for me.
