Both Morning and Afternoon sessions took the same format so I have linked them together this week. Sorry for the lack of pictures but with ALL junior helpers away on holidays this week, there were no spare hands to take any!
Today Paul & Jenna took the members for lessons in the yard whilst June & Jenny did the Riding!
Jenna taught them how to mount properly and how to adjust their own stirrups and girths. Although the children have all been riding for some time now, all this has been done for them and now it has come to the time when most of them will be able to do it for themselves.
Paul did field maintenance with the children and besides clearing the dung from the paddocks (a job they all love to do) He taught them about checking the field perimeters and checking the grazing for poisonous plants such as Ragwort. This plant is extremely dangerous to horses if eaten.
Jenny & June did the riding, and with such a warm day, decides to do most of it in the field and around the riding track. Some of the children even Cantered for the first time. We also taught them other thing, like types of trees, wildlife, wild flowers & poisonous plants.
This is a blog page for the members (& their families) to keep up to date with what is going on in the Pony Club Centre. Please feel free to make any comments about the content and any suggestions.
