More good weather. Lucy helped us with volunteer training. In lesson 2 Lucy on Ferdie was joined by Mary on Shamus and Ann on Bally to practice leading and sidewalking. Lucy told us what it feels like for riders when we help.
Lesson 1 was Kim on Sultan, Chris on Rupert and Fiona on Shamus. Ethan rode George for the first time - a good partnership. The ride practiced school shapes in walk on trot. Kim cantered on her own and Ethan cantered on George with Simon leading.
Lesson 3 worked hard and used the coloured markers to practice steering Tabitha rode Bally - a bigger pony is encouraging Tabitha to sit up straight. Tabitha did 23 rises to the trot ! Noah rode Bertie - another good partnership. Cody is getting on well with Conker and Maddie rode Ben.
