Afternoon session
This afternoon’s session started with a presentation to Amy. Amy has just passed her Riding for the Disabled (RDA) Achievement Merit Badge and not only got the badge from the Pony Club (2 weeks ago) but has now been sent a Certificate of Award by the RDA Association, it was this that we presented to Amy at the start of the session.

June again did working dogs and as most of the members that attended the afternoon session had done this exercise before we concentrated a little bit more on the other jobs that dogs can do. Such as Dogs for the Disabled, Hearing Dogs for the Deaf, Army Dogs & Sled Dogs etc. Without exception I was very pleased with the knowledge of the various jobs that dogs are used for that the members showed.
Grooming & yard work was with Jack & Jenny. Jenny was very impressed with the improvements in Horse handling that the members showed in this session, with being able to put a headcollar on a pony for the first time on their own to others who were able to Tack Up or Untack on their own. The shining stars in this section were Tamryn, Abigail & Nathaniel.
Untacking!
I've done it Jenny!
"Please Jenny, is this right?" "Perfect" said Jenny.
Riding was with Jenna who gave the members their first introduction to Cross Country Jumping with a small ditch. All of the members rode well and the rider Jenna felt was most improved was Nathaniel – Very well done!
All of the members in both sessions worked extremely hard in all sections and I sincerely hope that they all had a great time and fun while learning.
