Hello!! If we haven’t been able to meet in person, I’m Morwenna Steele, a second year studying Forensic Science with Criminology. I have been a member of the club since my first year. Last year I was selected to be one of the reserves for B team and this year selected to ride for our A team as their captain. This opportunity is what drives my passion for the club, as president I hope to help others achieve their riding ambitions.
Horses have been a part of my life since before I was born. We have four at home, three of which have taught me everything I know. Although I mainly compete in show jumping and cross-country related classes my love for dressage has been growing over the past years and thanks to my Shetland, I have even unwillingly tried some rodeo!
This year I have been a member of committee as the treasurer and have had the opportunity to work with other members to get to know more about the roles of our committee.
As your president I intend to work closely with the rest of committee to ensure our members are getting the optimum experience in our club.
- Working with the secretary and competition co-ordinator to have an inter-club competition or a fun gymkhana.
- Alongside the social secretary to ensure we have an increase in social activities tailored to what our members want such as meals together, nights out as a club or joint socials with other clubs. As well as a wide range of sober activities both related to horses and not.
- Ensuring our recreational riders have opportunities to ride weekly or biweekly as well as the option to help at BUCs competitions to experience BUCs if you are considering it for your next year.
As President I will be a reliable support for committee and club members with any ideas they have relating to their role or the club in general. I aim to keep improving our relationship with the union, so we continue to get increased promotion and club prominence.
