Taranaki Working Equitation

Est. 2022

Welcome to the Taranaki Working Equitation group!

What combines the beauty of dressage, the thrill of speed events, the precision of a trail class, and the skill set of a working ranch horse? That would be working equitation, a discipline popular in Europe and rapidly gaining traction in the U.S.

Founded in the mid-1990s in Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy, this international sport showcases the equitation techniques developed in countries that use horses to do ranch work. 

Working Equitation (WE) is a  fun discipline that any horse bred & rider from any discipline can get involved in.
