club currently ride at three different riding stables: beginner lessons are at Haggis farm; more experienced riders can take part in<br />
dressage lessons at Hilltop Equestrian Centre, Yelling and show jumping lessons take place at Witcham Equestrian Centre.<br />
The biggest event in Michaelmas term was the dressage competition on 27th November at Yelling. Members <strong>of</strong> CURC<br />
competed at Preliminary, Novice and Elementary (the hardest) level. In Lent term we organised a gymkhana at Haggis farm<br />
consisting <strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> fast races, exciting for participants and spectators. All races were done in heats with points being given<br />
depending on the position in the heat. Therefore both novice and advance riders could enter and were grouped together<br />
according to their riding abilities. Another popular event in Lent term was a trip to the National Stud in Newmarket.<br />
The CURC team competed again very successfully this year. It comfortably won their league and qualified for the Regional<br />
Championships where it came 2nd to Birmingham.<br />
Sam Cutts qualified for the National Final as an individual and won both the dressage and the combined National Final.<br />
Moreover <strong>Cambridge</strong> won the Varsity match which was hosted by Oxford this year.<br />
