MRWEQ Member's Training Day
Montana’s Run Working Equitation Inc. (MRWEQ) has a dedicated training venue FOR OUR MRWEQ MEMBERS to further the training of horse and rider combinations. We will be focusing our training days on helping our member's, whose goal it is to be actively training for competitions in a fun, supportive and respectful team environment. Riders will already need to have a good understanding of the WEQ rulebooks, as the training format will be similar to competitions. What's even better, as the club grounds are a dedicated WEQ venue, there will be minimal set-up and pack away for riders. Our Members can turn up, saddle up, report for gear check and riders briefing and then ride!
MRWEQ Memberships are currently available. To join our club please follow this link:
