We did a wide variety of things today. The usual things such as riding, mucking out, Field maintenance & grooming were interspersed with varied subjects such as Knots, Tack, Horse Handling, points of the pony, quizzes, grooming brushes & their uses etc;
Both June & Jenna took the members for their riding lessons and concentrated on position and control of the horse in walk & trot. Accuracy in steering has to be learned by the younger members. The final goal will be to be able to control the pony while playing mounted pony club games, to be able to control the pony while out riding on the roads and to keep safe while taking part in a number of equine sports or just being a happy hacker!
While June was teaching in the school, Jenna was doing mucking out & grooming with them, and then their roles were reversed.
Paul did field maintenance with them & he informed me that the best in this endeavour was Madison W.
Meanwhile back in the yard Jenny did an amazing array of subjects with them from horse handling & points of the pony to points of tack, bandaging & rugs & Knots!
Everyone tried really hard, and hopefully had a good time!
