The Riding Group

LARS has its very own riding group held at Lund Civil Riding society (LCR), in which only LARS members are allowed to ride in. The lesson is discounted compared to the regular riding groups held at LCR, a huge bonus for us students! There are only 8 spots available each time and the cost for riding in the riding group is 342 SEK.

The riding group is held on Fridays, 3 PM (assembly 2.15 PM). The payment details are provided to you when you get a spot in the group. To be able to ride in the group you have to be a member in Studentlund and become a member in LCR, read more about becoming a member under the tab “become a member”.

How do I sign up?

 

You register (one lesson at a time) from week to week and the ones who register first will be given the opportunity to ride in the riding group.

Registration for the riding group occurs in the “hitract” app. You will find us in hitract by searching for “LARS” among HitClubs. Under “Events” you will find the registration for this week’s riding lesson. The registration opens Monday at 7 PM. Information regarding the riding lessons will be provided through the riding group email.

If you get a spot, you will receive an email with more information.

The registration is binding.

What previous knowledge do I have to have?

 

To be able to ride in the riding group you will have to be capable of riding the horse in all three gaits. There are two levels, one basic and one advanced. The basic level corresponds to Ryttarmärke 3 at LCR. You need to ride in the basic level group at least once, and get the “go-ahead” from the instructor, before riding in the advanced level group. The advanced level corresponds to Ryttarmärke 5 at LCR.
