Western riders? help please!

[SpottyRosie]

anyone on here do western pleasure riding? or know how to ride western generally? I was interested in starting my mare off with it, I would love to try it and get some lessons and then have a go on her. Rosie is currently 3.5 years old and walks/trots under saddle, goes over poles and hacks out, that is all we have done so far. I ride her generally bareback, with a loose ish rein, and she listens perfectly fine with voice commands and gentle aids. I wanted to know some more about it, Id love to try her in western tack seeing as shes a stocky appaloosa

This is a good place to start, they will have a list of trainers etc.
I have always found them very helpful and friendly.

Also, go on Facebook and join the WES page and also the areas. Then you can find people more local to you.
I think you may be in area 6 which covers S Wales/Worcester. (https://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/groups/254401334609584/)
