About The Westernaires
We're a non-profit organization located in Golden, Colorado,, comprised of over 1,000 dedicated young people, aged 9 to 19. We encourage self-respect, responsibility, teamwork, and leadership through horsemanship and family participation. Since 1949, Westernaires has proudly trained young people to use their talents and skills in the best traditions of the west.
In addition to learning about care of horses and honing their skill at precision mounted drill, Westernaires members develop important intangible qualities. These include the discipline that comes from training every week for years to achieve promotion to the top teams of the organization, the sense of teamwork from riding week after week with a group of riders trying to gel into a polished performance, the sense of personal responsibility from caring for horses, and community pride from gaining a personal appreciation for our western heritage.
Perhaps the most important feature of the Westernaires today is that it provides a constructive alternative for today's youngsters. Westernaires adheres to a policy of no drugs, no alcohol, no tobacco for its members. There is a sense of community, of family which nurtures young people into responsible community leaders. It provides a place for parents and their children to work together in so many ways that seem unavailable elsewhere. This teamwork between generations is exemplified by the scores of parents and other adult volunteers who make it possible for our young people to ride. Westernaires' horse and facilities caretaker is its one and only one paid employee!
