Meet Zara Barber, our Second Team Captain!

Zara is ready to rally the team, bring the motivation, and keep everyone on track throughout the season. Whether it’s early morning competitions, celebrating PBs, or convincing everyone that a 6am departure is actually character building, she’s up for the challenge. ☕🐎

From warming up ringside to cheering everyone on from the sidelines, Zara will be there every step (or stride!) of the way.

With her leading the charge, we’re looking forward to an amazing season full of teamwork, laughs, and hopefully plenty of rosettes. 🏵️

Meet Lily Blythe, our Stash Secretary, our First Team Captain AND our second Social Media Secretary!

Whether she’s making sure everyone is looking the part in their OBUEC stash, leading our first team through the BUCS season, or keeping our Instagram feed full of competition highlights and committee chaos, Lily is ready to do it all (and somehow still have time to ride!) 🏇🏻

Safe to say she’ll be wearing a lot of hats this year... and hopefully remembering which one she’s supposed to be wearing each day. 🤠

We can’t wait to see everything Lily brings to the club!

Meet Scarlett Koster, our Wellbeing and Inclusion Officer AND one of our Social Media Secretaries!

Scarlett is here to make sure everyone feels right at home in the club—whether you’re a seasoned rider or still figuring out which end of the horse eats the carrots. 🙈

She’ll also be one of the masterminds behind the content, keeping you updated with all the important bits: competition results, committee chaos, wholesome moments, and the occasional questionable photo from a social (don’t worry... I’ll probably post it anyway 👀📸).

From checking in on our members to keeping your Instagram feed full of OBUEC content, Scarlett is ready to make this year one to remember.

Meet our Treasurer, Amy Tranter!

Amy will be keeping our finances in check, making sure the numbers add up, the club keeps ticking along, and gently reminding the rest of the committee that no, we can’t spend the entire budget on ponies 💸🐴

From balancing the books to helping make all our events, competitions, and socials possible, Amy will be working hard behind the scenes to keep OBUEC running smoothly.

We’re incredibly lucky to have her on the committee and can’t wait to see everything she achieves this year (especially if she approves the social budget 😉).

Meet Charlotte Rudge, our Vice President and Social Sec!

Her ideas are what causes the Wednesday night chaos 😉

Whether she’s keeping the committee on track or making sure the socials are anything but stable, Charlotte is ready to make this year one to remember. From organising the best nights out to bringing the club together both in and out of the saddle, she’s got it covered. 🩷

Expect plenty of laughs, great memories, and maybe just a few questionable dance moves along the way. 🪩🤠

We can’t wait to see what Charlotte has in store for OBUEC this year—it’s sure to be a galloping good time!

Meet our President Lily Lingford-Taylor!

She’s the boss 🫡

Lily is ready to take the reins and lead the club into what promises to be an unforgettable year. Whether it’s cheering us on at competitions, helping the club grow, or making sure everything runs smoother than a perfectly ridden dressage test (we can all dream 🤭), she’s got us covered.

With plenty of riding, socials, laughs, and maybe just a little bit of organised chaos ahead, we can’t wait to see what this year has in store under Lily’s leadership. 🩷💙

Here’s to making memories, collecting rosettes, and proving that life really is better in the saddle. 🤩

Hold onto your reins because we are about to announce our new Oxford Brookes Equestrian Club’s committee for the 2026-2027 season! 🩷💙

Get ready as we introduce the faces behind OBUEC for the year ahead! From competitions 🏆 to socials 🪩 and plenty of unforgettable memories, this committee is ready to make it our best year yet.

We can’t wait to welcome both new and returning members this September - Here’s to a year full of teamwork, laughter, rosettes, and making every stride count! 🐎🌟

Good luck to Ella and Lily who will head up to Liverpool tomorrow to compete in the BUCS regionals. A massive congratulations to them both for qualifying as individuals!
