BUCS Club of the Year is one of the most prestigious award presented by BUCS. Only one club from each university is nominated, so that is 1 out of 72 at the University of Nottingham. Then out of all the universities in the country, only 3 clubs are shortlisted. We made it onto the shortlist and then on the 14th July, President Jess and Inclusivity Officer Karen travelled to the Awards evening and we won! It was unbelievable but all down to the hard work of last years committee. 

This proves it, we are the best club in the country!

2015/16

After winning regionals, our BUCS Trophy League team made the trip all the way to Bishop Burton College to compete in the Trophy League Nationals. After a challenging two days of dressage and show jumping we finished with Team Silver, coming 1st in the dressage and 3rd in the showjumping round. 

The team consisted of team captain Fauve Topliss, Lauren Fair who placed in 6th, Susie Naybour who placed 12th and Jaimee Broadley who won individual gold.

2015/2016

As well as helping the whole team to a silver medal, Jaimee Broadley raced to victory taking overall individual gold, dressage gold, and showjumping silver. She won on her horse in the dressage by an astounding 16.8 points and won on all the horses she rode.

2015/16

As well as going on to win Team Silver at Nationals, our trophy league team won regionals with an individual 1st for Jaimee Broadley, 2nd for Fauve Topliss and 5th for Susie Naybour. 

2015/16

For the second year running, the Equestrian club were the winners of the University of Nottingham Diversity in Sport Award thanks to our work on the Inclusive Riding Sessions and in the diverse nature of our sport. Anyone can get involved in horse riding and everyone is welcome.

This year in the regional mini league, the University of Nottingham Equestrian team came in first place winning 3 out of 4 of the competetions. The team consisted of Jaimee Broadley, Ines Alves, Lauren Fair, Susie Naybour and team captain Fauve Topliss

2015/16

To add to the club's BUCS' success this year, Championship League rider Lucy Chapman qualified to compete in the Championship League Regionals. She had a very smooth dressage test with just 6 faults and an amazing jumping round with one unfortunate pole down.

2015/16

The Equestrian club is open to everyone and this caused us to be shortlisted for University of Nottingham Participation Club of the Year. We pride ourselves on the range of people involved and are glad to see this recognised by the University of Nottingham

2015/16

Adding to the success of Karen Ang and the Inclusive Riding Sessions, Karen was the worthy recipient of the 2015/16 Sports Leadership and Volunteering Award. Under her leadership the Inclusive Riding Sessions have grown to be bigger and better than any of us could have ever imagined and the legacy of all she has done will carry on in later years

2015/16

We couldn't do all we do without the support of University staff, especially one member of University staff when it comes to inclusivity. Hannah Webber, Disability Sport Officer at the University of Nottingham, has stood by Karen and Susie all the way from the beginning of the Inclusive Sessions and has been key in their success and development over the past year. Unfortunately she couldn't make the Staff Oscars this year but Karen went to collect the award for her.

2015/16

There aren't enough awards to show how amazing Karen is. At the Student Volunteer Awards she was awarded the Outstanding Volunteer Award for her dedication and commitment to making the Inclusive Riding Sessions the best they can be and allowing anyone to take part and enjoy themselves

2015/16

Our 2015/16 President Jessica Salisbury and Inclusivity Officer Karen Ang both graduated in 2016 but they have been awarded SU Lifetime Membership for all the work they have done for the SU and sport at the University of Nottingham during their time here. It is an honour to be awarded this membership and it is an honour they both deserve

2015/16

The Nottinghamshire Sports Awards recognise and celebrate the skills, dedication, determination and commitment of all those involved in sport across the county. The Nottinghamshire Sport Awards 2015 were presented at a ceremony at the Nottingham Conference Centre on Wednesday 3rd February 2016. As well as celebrating Nottinghamshire's sporting success, they celebrated the volunteers that help it be that way. Karen was one of three shortlisted for the Sport Volunteer of the Year.

2015/16

The Nottingham Advantage Award Female Entrepreneur of the Year Award is awarded by Enterprise Rent-A-Car and through this prize, they are looking to recognise the outstanding achievement of a female student, particularly for their entrepreneurial approach and attitude to their activities and achievements throughout the Award. Karen was nominated and highly commended in this award due to her impact on the university experience and the dedication shown throughout the whole of the NAA.

Milkround's Outstanding Contribution to a Society award is celebrating all the people that work hard to run a univeristy society or sports club and go above and beyond what is required of them.

2015/16

The Equestrian Club takes great pride in our diversity and inclusivity and this has been commended by the university with the Diversity in Sport Award. This was helped massively by the beginning of the Inclusive Riding Sessions by our 2014/15 RDA Officer Susie Naybour

2014/15

Volunteering with Riding for the Disabled is a feature of the Equestrian Club that most other clubs lack as we give back to the community that houses the university. Susie Naybour was our RDA Officer in 2014/15 and grew the volunteering experience massively during that year and was awarded the Outstanding Volunteer Award by the Students Union
