Oakridge Western Riding Club (OWRC)
The Club (OWRC) was established in 2012 by Oakridge Arena in order to establish a thriving and fun western community in the locality. The Club has continued to grow, becoming one of the largest western clubs in the UK with fantastic facilities for both horse and rider.
There are a variety of events throughout the year, roughly monthly, in order to provide something of interest to all western riders. Events include horsemanship clinics, western shows, summer camp, group riding lessons and horse-free socials.
Any breed of horse and level of rider is welcome to join, we have a large proportion of horses and riders who are new to western so please don't feel intimidated if you are a complete novice. Youth riders are welcome with an accompanying adult.
If you don't have a western horse but would like to join in with OWRC events horses may be available to hire at an additional cost.
Club membership benefits include OWRC only clinics, discounted show entries at Oakridge Arena, discounted shared arena hire, special offers at Oakridge Arena and OWRC merchandise.
We have a busy facebook group Oakridge Western Riding Club
