Full Blues are awarded to individuals who achieve the Half Blue criteria and place in the top 6 athletes at BUCS regionals, or to the team members who achieve the Half Blue criteria and finish in the top 2 teams at BUCS regionals. In previous years talented individuals have competed at the prestigious BUCS National Championships and represented GB on the student riders team. In 2019, our blues team won the dressage at the national championships. For the first time in OUEC's history in 2019 both the Blues and the 2s qualified for regionals, with the Blues winning their regional round and the 2s coming a very close third place.OUEC is also the perfect way to brush up your riding skills whilst at university or a fantastic opportunity to learn to ride for the first time. We are very fortunate to be able to run weekly lessons for our members at affordable rates allowing everyone at the university a chance to experience the sport.
