Today we had a super time, riding was once again with Jenna & June, & the members were made to work really hard on getting their position correct as well as accuracy in their aids. They worked on transitions and their positional changes in trot.
The older members worked hard on improving their seat in canter, their accuracy in the school, correct use of corners & control, they also worked in the two point position.
Back on the yard the members did mucking out, grooming, field maintenance, bandaging, poisonous plants, wildlife, paddock construction, water & hazards.
We recapped poisonous plants with the older members & taught the new members about them. When it came to bandaging however, the star turned out to be Josh, his bandaging skills were extremely good, well done Josh!
Meanwhile out in the paddocks Sienna turned out to be the star, just 5 years old is able to pick up a whole fork of dung and spot Ragwort very quickly indeed, and when asked to change jobs with another member, insisted on keeping the fork to continue picking up dung.
We also did some tests on care of the hoof, and I am pleased to say that the following members have passed their care of the foot Mini Achievement Badge. Eryn,Chloe, Yasmine, Tam, Millie T, Josh & Millie J – well done to all of you!
Hannah N meanwhile passed her perfect Paddock & the Saddlery Achievement Merit Badges – very well done Hannah.
