Western Riding In Cheshire?

[x.fat-pony.x]

Hi all you western fans! Just wondering if there were any riding centers in Cheshire, UK that do western riding lessons? Just I've always wanted to try it, and now I have a job I can afford it!!
Thanks in advance! xxx

i went and i going again!!

Well i wil if they will have me a rode Banjo, a loverly little boy,
the riding in hindsight was exciting and i thouroughly ebjoyed it Susie the owner and our guide for the ride was nice and very knolwedable about her horses, apart from a couple of spooks(as all horses do) it all went well ,but god is it different!.
i got the hang of the 8 ft reins!! and the stering pretty well the Jog was ok when i relaxed and didnt think about it too much, as when i did got was it bumpy!.
The lope was ok but then thats when i had the spooks and it was a bit unsettling, just getting used to it all, but i will defintely try again,

well worth too hous drive!.
the place is Grange Farm Criollo horses there is an article in Horse magazine in it!

Ive rode the Criollos at Grange Farm in Leicestershire too! Buck and Banjo are great horses.

You may get an exciting hack in wester tack at Rocky's but you will not learn how to ride western properly. If you are serious about western equitation, you need a good instructor. Sherie Dermody is a WES insructo rin Cheshire.

Scherie Dermody is the WES qualified Instructor in South Cheshire, but you have to have your own horse for lessons.
