  • Follow me and the rest of team Liverpool to the BUCs national championships. See how the competition runs and what it is like to compete a horse you have never sat on before. Although things didn't totally go to plan I still had an amazing time with these super girls!

    Ahh this brings back memories of BUCS. I got one horse that was 17.1hh for dressage and jumped a 16.2hh. I am 5ft1! Never got through to nationals though but only started riding at uni so was more than happy that I got chance to do trophy regionals. Looks fun!

  • @universityofportsmoutheque3563
    @universityofportsmoutheque3563 5 років тому +41

    Couldn’t agree more about BUCS! We always try and remind our riders to judge their own rounds rather than allowing the judges to decide whether they had a good round or not! Looks like you all had a great time🤩 Congrats for even getting there - what an achievement x

    It makes me both super happy and sad to see this as I tried out for my uni’s BUCS team when I was an Elementary dressage rider/1m showjumper and I didn’t get in as I wasn’t willing to pony-club-kick the lazy school horses into actually doing something. The ones who were picked were just the people who were willing to kick the hardest rather than actually ride. I ended up only going to one riding lesson then stopped riding during my whole time at uni. Makes me so sad to think if I’d got in and actually enjoyed it my uni experience could have been so different. So glad you have enjoyed your time!

    The judging seemed dodgy as! That's so annoying ugh. All yours and your teams' rounds in the jumping looked super smooth and well ridden. I've always found judging (obvs depending on the judge) unfair and bias ://

    • @2.welsh.ponies522

    i don't really get it? if they are providing horses for the competitors to compete on, the horses should at least be half decent or at the level of test the riders are riding. Most of the horses look like they'd grabbed them out of some random paddock and went 'she'll be right'. Well ridden to all the girls, they were definitely not easy horses for the dressage phase, tho the jump phase looked fantastic!

    • @estermay4894
      @estermay4894 Рік тому +1

      I ride with uni and when we hosted a competition the “dressage” ponies were chosen by “well this one can’t jump and isn’t lame” and the “jumping” ponies were chosen by “probably won’t refuse for no reason” - most of the yards aren’t owned by the uni but are local riding clubs so unfortunately the ponies are riding school ponies as the yards just don’t have the stock to be matching the riders. It’s good fun but as Meg said nothing to take too seriously as you don’t know the horses, the horses are nothing special, and the judges make interesting calls.

    Hey, I'm sure this was a while ago but just watching it I would love to go there. But I have no idea how to, I am only 14 years old so none of that made sense of what it is but it looked very fun! I was wondering if you could explain how you got there and what University you went to and the courses you took to be able to make horsey friends and compete with them on horses who aren't even you're own! I would love to do this some time in the future! I am extremely jealous that you get to do all those fun things with University rather than being stuck at a desk! Thank you for taking you're time to read this!

      It is due to pain in there mouth or something wrong with there teeth the rider might not know about, it also can be due to pressure on the horses tongue and the more pressure the more there tongue hangs out.🙂The rider might not know so no hate🙂🙂
