The Western Equestrian Society was formed in 1985 to promote the Discipline of Western Riding to the standard as practised in the United States. The aims and objectives of the founder members have certainly been achieved as a significant number of members have gone on to compete, officiate and judge at competitions throughout the UK, Europe and the United states.
WES now promotes the sport from pure beginners to the very top level and you can start with any breed of horse with members participating with breeds as diverse as Shetland Ponies to World Class Quarter Horses with Arabs, Appaloosas, Cobs, Thoroughbreds and sundry Native Breeds participating in many of the regional shows.In addition the Society has built up an enviable reputation for well organised professionally run events run by knowledgeable officials with a welcoming and friendly attitude to participants only too willing to assist those new to the Western discipline.

 UK
PHA members visit the European Paint Horse Championships (EPHC) in
Kreuth, Germany to size up the competition. …. and the UK gets its
first European medal
Including
friends and Family, UK PHA had a group of nine at the Show in
Germany. Since 2003 the EPHC has grown to be the largest American
Paint Horse Show outside of North America. The initial intention was
to get a team together to compete at this year’s event. However,
when it was moved further south from Aachen near the Netherlands
border to Krueth near the Austrian border, they decided to get as
many as possible to take some time out and see just what the
competition would be like.
