Equine Society

Hi, I'm Fahrettin Çakır. I am a second year student at the Cappadocia University Associate Program of Equine Studies. The Equine Society was founded in 2016 in order to increase the curiosity of students in horse riding to provide related information more accurately. There are Society rooms on campus, we are gathering in these rooms. Number of members is now between 30-40. We are a new community. We are a club for students who have curiosity in this sport for the moment, but our aim is to explain riding culture and the importance riding in Turkish culture more accurately . Throughout the year we organize events, various seminars and nature tours on horses. We are doing various activities that mention important issues such as approaching the horse and points that need attention when riding the horse. There is also a nature tour in our events which we organise throughout the year. We are organizing a barbecue event at the farm located in our school in order to increase the sympathy to the horses. In the meantime, we have activities like horse riding. Students are more attracted with this and this helps them overcome their fears. We require a medical report indicating that there is no special condition for horse riding when we enrol new members A student who does not have a medical report, can also become a member. But we do not ride horses. We are open to anyone studying at Cappadocia University. Dealing with horses is useful for personal development. In this community, we allow people to find themselves, to know themselves better, to defeat their fears. We are inviting you to the Cappadocia University and Equine Society. Come, let us introduce Cappadocia to you with horses more closely, more sincerely and warmer.
