Welcome to Southern Schoolmasters Western Club - based in Surrey
Our club will provide regular, bespoke Western Clinics with 1st class instruction from the UK's best clinicians. Western is a style of riding which evolved from the ranching and warfare traditions brought to the Americas by the Spanish Conquistadors. The equipment and style have changed slightly over time to meet the needs of the cowboy, but are still similar to the Spanish style of riding and Classical Dressage. It is a disciplined, relaxed way of going in order to make hours in the saddle as comfortable as possible for both the horse and the rider. The horse is not ridden 'on the bit' with a tight rein, but is encouraged to carry itself in balance and is guided by small rein, leg and body movements. Novice horses are generally worked using two hands with a snaffle or bitless bridle, known as a bosel. As the horses and riders become more advanced in their education it is usual to ride with only one hand on the reins of a curb bridle. In much the same way as there are dozens of different sports that riders can take part in using English tack, there are many different Western disciplines, which use slightly different types of tack and equipment and require slightly different riding styles. Some are exciting speed events, and others require high levels of trust between horse and rider in order to perform complicated moves.
