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
We have taken the decision to waive the membership fee for 2021 for OWRC

Dear Competitors,
Well miracles do happen……. At the 11th hour late last night, we received notification from DCMS that the Sherwood Summer Sizzler is now classed in the listings alongside World Events as paragraph 11, Schedule 5 subsection b now states. So the Sherwood Summer Sizzler is listed with the World Snooker Tour, The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup, The NFL International Series and the Rugby League World Cup amongst others!
So….. AQHA, APHA, BR, NRHA are now all running as per the original schedule as we have been able to secure the required travel exemptions for the Judges as a listed event. The Le Mays as always have gone above and beyond to accommodate our show, and will be arriving early hours of Friday morning.
We would like to express our thanks to Adam Heaton, David Lloyd and Jane Muir who offered to step in so we could still run an event for our competitors. Sadly our Show Secretary Guillaume Vogel has been unable to make the journey to the UK however is now working in conjunction with Jane Muir to ensure the success of the event.
We give our heartfelt thanks to the entire team and the competitors and sponsors for their patience and continued support. Once again this highlights what a fantastic community we have in the western show world.
We look forward to welcoming you soon at Oakridge.
