We are organising a new WES show this year, to be held at Abergavenny on 14th September. Venue has a 40m x 40m outdoor arena with sand/chopped cable surface, no wax. Warm up indoors. Good range of classes, entry fees around £7-£8 a class. Schedules will be available soon once we've had confirmation about sponsors and prizes. Hi-points, plus a few extra awards. Easy to get to and close to major roads - about 50 miles from Malvern. Overnight stabling will be available at £15. The venue is a livery/training yard, so it's a great opportunity to introduce western to a fresh audience.

If you want a schedule when they're available, please email me at llwyndrain.farm@btinternet.com

Sounds cool, thats 50 Welsh Mountinous Miles from Malvern. Only kidding

Hope it comes off. Dont forget the Reiners.

will be running novice horse, novice rider, intermediate amateur, amateur and open reining classes.

Well done to you for organising a new WES show, hope you get lots of entries.

To anyone who thinks they wouldn't possibly be good enough to do a show, go along and have a try at the nov rider horsemanship or even the pleasure.

WES shows are friendly and fun, and everyone is welcome.

Thanks for the feedback - can confirm everything you say. After swearing blind I'd never compete again (english) as the stress was just too much, have found western to be fun, relaxed and a great way to measure how our training has progressed.
