The club aims to promote Western Riding, and to encourage those riders who enjoy any or all aspects of western horsemanship.
ABOUT US:
The Blenheim Western Riding Club Inc. was formed in 1988 in response to the growing number of western riding enthusiasts.
We are located in the bowl behind the RDA on Taylor Pass road. Opposite the hospital.
The objects of the club are primarily to promote western riding and to encourage those riders who enjoy any or all aspects of western horsemanship.
The club is affiliated with the NZ Western Riding Federation and we believe this integration is an important part of 'spreading the word' about western riding.
We try to cater for each member's interests whether they are competitive or not. Non-riding members are also encouraged. Activities range from shows and clinics to stud visits and social evenings.
At shows we offer a whole range of western classes including pleasure, trail, horsemanship, reining and showmanship but also run halter, in-hand trail and versatility ranch horse trail classes.
Training the western horse is about developing a true working partnership with the goal being to ride a relaxed and calm horse, capable of showing and trail riding and indeed any activity that you might like to take part in.
We host 2 shows, one spring show in December and our Brancott show in February.
We have a great big Arena for all to enjoy. We also have 2 stallion yards, and 15 pens for the horses that don't want to be tied when you are up enjoying one of our many events. We have a cute little caravan as our clubhouse with coffee and tea.
