Western Dressage
We have a dedicated group of people who have an interest in Western Dressage and we have formed a sub-committee to help grow this sport. This year we are planning to hold 6 Western Dressage competitions and we encourage everyone to come along and give it a go.
We always include 'come and try' classes for those trying for the first time, non-sanctioned and sanctioned classes. This is an event that is growing in popularity and we want to be able to provide this to our members. We run shows, training days and clinics with local instructors and interstate trainers.
Western Dressage integrates the principles of classical dressage with the best of the western horse. It is a systematic and progressive system of training for the western horse and rider, in traditional stock or western tack with the purpose of enjoying a safe, pleasurable and versatile horse. ~ Western Dressage Association of Australia

When riding Western Dressage the horse should display impulsion from engaged hindquarters, and have a supple topline, while the rider has a soft contact. The horse should be willing to work and move freely.
A Western Dressage partnership should culminate in a happy, harmonious, horse and rider relationship. ~ Western Dressage Association of Australia |
