Despite being low in numbers (cancellations at last minute), I had a super day with the little ones. Lesson and obstacle course in the morning. The obstacles included a cone slalom, a pole zigzag, dismounting and mounting on off side and a raised trotting pole. The fastest time was 3 minutes in a walk and 2 and a half minutes at a trot.
The afternoon was filled with learning the points of the pony and then bareback riding on the lunge. The riders were lying , kneeling and trying to stand while the horse was walking. They were also trotting and doing it without hands!! A great test of balance.
Unfortunately I didn't have a camera ready so no photos.
A special well done to
Lucy for going on Ailish bareback ( first time on a big pony)
Rosie for super teamwork.
Tristan for not slipping of Polly bareback
See you all soon
