Westernaires

Such an amazing place people there are so nice ther heard Is awsome I would 100% recommend it. It's a great learning experience and the instructors are super nice and helpful.

You would think an organization full of kids wouldn't promote bullying but this place is not the place for your kid. Take them somewhere else if they want to ride horse. 4-H is a way better option. Unless your child is one of their favorites then they will dismiss them, bully them and make them feel like they don't matter. Not to mention it's so outdated. Like seriously how about you try something new? The uniforms are awful, their shows are awful. It's our excuse to use the bathroom when they come on. Don't waste your time on putting your kids in Westernaires! There are some wonderful people inside the organization but what it represents is awful and they really don't treat a lot of the kids well. This is from an outsiders perspective!

awful experience. instructors are rude and bully kids, too much homework & quizzes (why do you need a QUIZ and HOMEWORK to ride horses?????), they don't teach you anything, and the horses don't live a good life + are hardly trained. ridiculous place.

My family and I attended the end of the year show near Denver. It was amazing! It was a clean facility and had many vending options at affordable prices(the program which was almost 100 pages long, and was made of book material, was only $3)! The program itself was incrediable! It was all kids who preformed. The kids were very poilite and extremly talented. At one point, there was 250 horses in the tiny arena at the gallop, but the kids moved the horses like pros. There was a variety of skills desplayed like Indian drumming, vaulting, calavary, drill, roman, driving, liberty, roping, whip tricks, dressage,TONS OF CRAZY STUFF, and more! Not at one point of the affternoon was I bored. This is an AMAZING EVENT, it is really inspiring the connection the kids have with each other and horses. The only thing I did not aprove of was the point of the show where the kids jumped the horses in western saddles and with three people on the horse. As far as I know from being an English rider and jumper, you should not jump a horse in a western saddle much less with three people on the horse. All in all though, this event was amazing!!!!
