Hi, I'm Jess and I would love to be your secretary next year! I have been around horses since I was little and own two horses called Senega and Ferriol. As your Secretary I would ensure LUHRC remains a welcoming and friendly society for all members. I consider myself an approachable and friendly individual and would encourage all members to come to me if needed with any problems. My understanding personality would allow me to deal with any welfare issues in a compassionate way, responding to any problems quickly and effectively. Additionally, my horsey background knowledge will allow me to express my thoughts at meetings. I will suggest new ideas and opportunities in order to represent the society. Most importantly, I look forward to collaborating with fellow members in the committee in order to provide members with the best and fun experiences during their time at Leeds. I can't wait for next year to begin and to welcome new faces to LUHRC!

Hi, I’m Eve and I would love to be your secretary next year! Most of you may know me from socials or through organising your lessons. I have been part of this society for two years now with one year on committee. My role as lessons organiser has given me a great understanding of how the society runs and how the committee works overall. I’ve had the opportunity to meet members involved in every aspect of the society e.g. lessons, socials, teams which has only made my time in the club more enjoyable.

I would love to continue working to bring new opportunities and ideas to the club next year, persisting in making this club inclusive and gratifying for all members and abilities. I think of myself as friendly and welcoming to all, making so many great friends through the club these past two years. I can’t wait to meet even more new faces next year!

ABOUT ME:
- I study English Literature and Creative Writing and I’m going into my 3rd year
- I started riding when I was 8, volunteering and taking lessons at a riding school
- I got my 1st loan pony Apollo when I was 12 and then my 2nd Toby when I was 14
- I worked at a yard when I was 16 and taught some beginner lessons for young riders

MY SKILLS:
- During my lessons organiser role I have gained experience organising events and transport, constantly communicating with our yard TLE, answering member enquiries and working as a team with my fellow committee
- I have gained welfare training from the Union to help provide future support for our members and I will always be open to new suggestions for how to improve our club
- I have previously worked at a riding school, having experience in working with riders of all abilities. My knowledge of how a riding centre runs has helped immensely when communicating with TLE and planning events with them
- My job as a receptionist means that I have experience with customer service, admin work and professional communications. This will help with member enquiries, working with the union, and completing paperwork
