Western Riders of Virginia, Inc., is a non-profit association that seeks to promote an interest in western horses and western horsemanship. We sponsor all-western, open horse and pony shows each year. Our schedule includes six regular shows featuring western pleasure, barrels and calf roping. Regular shows are on the first Saturday of each month beginning in April. Our Jackpot Barrel shows feature poles, keyhole, flags, and of course, barrels. Jackpot Barrel shows are on the second Saturday. Some of our jackpot shows are NBHA sanctioned! We’ve got classes for pee-wees (under 10 years of age) and seniors (over 40 years of age), too.
We've changed our start times this year for certain events. In 2007 our Regular shows will start at 10:00 a.m. (the first class of the day, Open Halter, will start at 10:00 a.m. promptly), Speed/Barrels will start not before 1:00 p.m., and Calf Roping will start not before 6:00 p.m. Calf Roping will also be held in conjunction with our Jackpot shows and calf roping will start at 7:00 p.m. on these dates.
We’re just minutes off Interstate 295! Our show ring is located at 14294 Western Riders Lane, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060. Take Exit 51A, Nuckols Road North, off I-295. Proceed north on Nuckols Road through traffic lights at Twin Hickory Road and at Wyndham Forest Drive/Old Nuckols Road. At the third traffic light, turn right onto Shady Grove Road (becomes Cauthorne Road). Proceed 1.4 miles to Western Riders Lane and turn left. Follow Western Riders Lane to the show ring. There is ample parking for horse trailers and plenty of room to turn.
Our 2007 show season is made possible through the generous sponsorship of many individuals and small businesses. We’re certain you’ll find that our advertisers can help with many of your everyday needs. Whether it’s an inspection sticker for your horse trailer or shoes for your horse, we’re sure you’ll find a firm in our local community that has just the product or service you need!
