The Commerce City Memorial Day Parade honors veterans for their service to our country -- you won't find a more patriotic parade in Denver!  The Westernaires White Division teams are proud to participate in this great annual event. Westernaires is truly honored to have received the Grand Marshals Award from the parade judges in 2019.

The parade begins at 9:30AM at E. 64th Ave. and Newport St., and ends at 60th Ave. & Colorado Boulevard.  Prior to the parade, the city will host a ceremony at Veteran’s Memorial Park at 9:00AM to recognize the Grand Marshals.

"Interclub", as it's come to be called, is an opportunity for our youngest riders to show off their newly-gained equitation skills.  It's also one of the rare occasions when Westernaire riders are asked to compete individually, rather than as a team. 

All Tenderfoot- and Junior-level riders are grouped into classes by age and perform basic maneuvers that one might see in a Western equitation show (walk, trot, lope, reverse).

Independent judges select the top 5 riders from each class for ribbons.  The top 3 riders from each class advance to the semi-final rounds.  Eventually, the Top 5 riders for the entire club are crowned!

In between equitation classes, the audience is entertained by various specialty acts.  The graduating Westernaires Seniors provide comic relief and pose with each classes' winners.
