Time passes and dreams slip away āž”ļø Live your best life NOW! The Western Equestrian Society was formed in 1985 to promote the discipline of Western Riding here in Great Britain to the standard practised in the United States. We promote the sport for enthusiasts at ALL levels, from grassroots to seasoned competitors, of ANY age and with ANY breed, and we strive to encourage and involve all members at all levels. We are a National Society covering the whole of Great Britain which is divided into 13 geographical areas within the Society and there are many different activities you are able to participate in on a National, Area or virtual level if you wish, including clinics, shows, training, trail rides, social events and the trail ride award schemeā€¦ but hey, if you donā€™t want to participate in anything in particular, then thatā€™s cool too. As a member, you are welcome to attend, and would be made to feel most welcome, at ANY area or national event and the lovely ladies who organise the trail award scheme would also love to have you on board! We also have an active Facebook community, from the National group to the 13 Area groups. Itā€™s a great way of seeing our fellow members across GB and all that they get up too with their diverse range of equine friends. Not everyone may champion a trophy, but everyone can be a winner with a positive mindset "I CAN do this!".

It is the memberā€™s responsibility to obtain their own insurance, particularly public liability/third party cover, to be eligible to attend any WES riding events.Ā  For clarity, the WES insurance policy only covers people operating for and on behalf of the society, e.g. those organising and helping at events.
