The Collie Western Riding Assoc welcomes members of all ages to have a go. You do not need to have western gear or even a western trained horse and you defiantly don’t need any prior knowledge of western events… It is a great way to see if you enjoy the western style before you buy all the gear and it helps to build confidence before you enter the show scene. The club meets fortnightly on a Saturday in the Collie Western Arena, next to the main show grounds. During the summer months we ride at 6pm and in winter we start at 1pm. Each rally consists of different activities and exercises that allow you and your horse to learn various aspects of western riding. Instructors will also give you plenty of tasks to work on at home to improve your horses’ movement and behavior. If you think it might be for you come and watch the riding and meet the people before you join. The club holds frequent, affordable western clinics with respected riders and trainers from the Eastern States. These teaching sessions offer a wealth in information and advice no matter what stage or discipline you and your horse are at. During the clinics you receive one on one instruction based around how educated your horse is and what you are planning to do in the future. The Collie Western Riding Assoc Inc was formed officially in the early to mid 70’s, by a group of enthusiastic local riders under the guidance of Dave Little. Previous to this, the riders used to meet at Dave’s property, just east of Collie to learn and enjoy the style of Western Riding. The club’s beginnings were small but the enthusiasm spread and the club was soon flourishing. We obtained the present ground in the mid 70’s and with true determination, turned an old railway foundation into the present day riding arena. The arena has been improved and rebuilt several times, over the years, which has resulted in the fully drained, irrigated and lit arena that we enjoy today. The club has a bi-monthly newsletter , which results of shows coming events and clinics you can also advertise items for sale. The Western Club have a canteen which supplies snacks, hot and cold drink, light lunches and BBQ’s throughout the year. We have five new overnight yards, a fully fenced arena with lights for night meetings, a warm-up area fully fenced and seating around the main arena. There is an abundance of parking and camping overnight, when one of our events are one, is free. To contact us; President Heath 0435376567
