Cambridge University Riding Team consists of four riders, who compete in both the BUSA league and the Varsity Match. The team captain chooses the team within the first week or two of Michaelmas term.
The team is in a league with 3 other local Universities, and so competes in 4 competitions throughout the first 2 terms – one hosted by each university. The competitions are usually held on weekdays, so you would have to miss a lecture or two. The team captain is responsible for getting the team to the matches and any training throughout the year.
The team also compete in the annual varsity match against Oxford. The riding team are enjoying a very successful run, with a current tally of 8 consecutive varsity victories.
The Team Captain for 2011-12 is Charlie Flammiger from Pembroke College.
