This afternoon started with everyone in high spirits. Jenny took the members for grooming and yard duties and I think Jack is probably the cleanest pony on the yard. They also all had a go at Tacking up Jack, everyone also had a go at riding him today, all being led by Jenny and He behaved very well indeed.
Jenna took the members in the field and in the school and was able to do some jumping with them although the focus was again riding in open order so that the members could demonstrate their riding control, communication and their up & down transitions. Her most improved rider this week was Hannah.
We also had a ‘Mad’ session in the sand school and let off a lot of steam, jumping on foot and playing ‘British Bulldog’
We also did another session of seed planting. This is a 2 week competition to find the best kept log and the best kept seed. This is towards their Wild flowers Achievement badge, they need to learn plant structure and how a plant grows from seed. They need to learn to recognise different wild flowers and whether or not they are poisonous to horses. They also have to learn what the Law says about picking wild flowers.
We had a good day and we hope that all of the members enjoyed themselves. See you all next week.
