Equestrian

Equestrian is a specialist sport which has continued to grow from strength to strength largely due to the dedicated commitment of enthusiastic parents. Student’s are required to have their own horse to compete in Equestrian and parental supervision is essential. Westlake Girls has many students that compete regularly for the school throughout the year.
