Our first RDA of 2014 - Happy New Year ! 13 riders and 3 new volunteers at Arundel Today. Best wishes to Kim and Noah - we hope to see them soon. We sang Happy Birthday to Mary and Janet (W).
Lesson 1
Riders worked in walk and trot on school shapes and steering. Time to shake off the effects of Christmas ! Chris rode Rupert. Louis rode Joey with an escort and made Joey concentrate on shapes. Fiona on Shamus also rode part of the time with an escort. Bradley was on Zebedee and Ethan rode Sultan.
Lesson 2
This group worked on steering - using the coloured markers to practice three loop serpentines in the school. Michelle rode Ben. Beth was pleased to see Shamus after Christmas. Lucy rode Ferdie and Courtney 2 rode Sultan. The first lesson of the term was hard work for the riders.
Lesson 3
Tabitha rode Bertie for the first time. Bertie enjoyed the lesson - and Tabitha tried hard to concentrate and listen to Simon. Orla rode Harvey and enjoyed steering around the coloured markers. Cody on Conker worked on keeping her hands in a good position while riding the school shapes. Maddie rode Ben - and was watched by her Mum & Dad.
