Our association
N.S.R.V. Jolly Jumper
N.S.R.V. Jolly Jumper is the student riding association of Nijmegen. For over 45 years all students in and around Nijmegen who love horses or horseriding are welcome. Our members ride at different levels: from beginner to advanced. The most important to us is to have fun together.
Every monday we have our association lessons at Manege de Veerkracht in Heumen. In these lessons we mainly work on our dressage and once a month there is a jumping lesson. Besides these association lessons there are many other activities. Every month there is at least one horse related activity. Think of a trail ride, western lesson or a lesson on an icelandic horse. We also have all kinds of social activities such as a Christmas celebrations, dessert dinner and goat yoga. At our sponsor pub Bascafé / Café de fuik we have our drinks ‘borrels’.
N.S.R.V. Jolly Jumper is a member of the KNHS-VNS. This is an umbrella organisation to which other sister associations are affiliated. The affiliated sister associations organise (if possible) a so called SO. Such an SO usually lasts 1.5 days and takes place at the weekend. With a group of participants, you go to the location where the sister association organises the SO. Here, you ride your test in the preliminary round or jump your course on an unfamiliar pony or horse. During the cosy theme party, the semi-finalists will be announced. A weekend full of fun!
Because of the different types of activities we do, there is something for everyone. From only participating in social activities to fanatical riders: everyone is welcome! More information about membership and joining the association can be found here.
