Western riding?

[Kirsty McDonald]

Does anyone know of anywhere (in Scotland preferably) that teaches western riding?

Im going as barn staff to a summer camp in the USA over summer and although I have ridden western a few times, the horses just knew what they were doing by the instructor's voice commands so I really didn't need to do very much, so I'm looking for somewhere to teach me how to do it properly.

I live in Scotland, so would be much better if it was somewhere nearby, but if there are places down south that can do "crash courses" and I can find relatively cheap accommodation near then I would be prepared to do that too

Thanks in advance

Have a look on the AQHA UK website or WES one, I know theres folks in Scotland just not whos who. If you cant find anyone pm me and I can put the feelers out in the western community down here for a reccomendation up there.
Now thinking about it, I think horseback UK is in Scotland, they are a specialist center mostly working with vetrans but might be worth shooting them a message as I'll bet they will know folks up there, they are on Facebook

Thank you!! have sent emails to AQHA UK, WES and Horseback UK, so hopefully they'll be able to point me in the right direction also, thank you for introducing me to Horseback UK, what an incredible charity! I had no idea that they even existed, and yet their work is absolutely amazing!
