The Vereinigung der Westernreiter in Bayern e.V. (VWB) is a Bavarian association dedicated to western riding and its community. Its website provides members and visitors with news, event information, competition resources and details about the organisation’s activities. The VWB arranges a varied calendar of western riding shows, including the Bavarian Spring Classic, Bavarian Summer Show, Indian Summer Show and the International Bavarian Championship. Events feature disciplines such as reining, trail, ranch riding, horsemanship and pleasure, with classes for riders at different experience levels. Some shows also include jackpot competitions, youth events, beginner categories, lead-line classes and walk-trot options.

Beyond competitions, the association promotes education and participation through riding courses, training opportunities and youth development. Its site offers schedules, entry and results lists, pattern books, score sheets, forms, documents, FAQs and a newsletter. Practical event information may cover registration, stalls, hay, show-office services and access to veterinary or farrier assistance. The VWB also shares updates through an information channel and supports young competitors with initiatives such as stall-cost contributions.
