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.
When possible we host 3 shows, one spring show, a summer show
and an autumn show.
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. Our current focus is on fundraising for a purpose built shed to replace our caravan.
