Welcome back Sophie. Today everyone focused on steering and commands.
Have a look at the latest picture - picture gallery.
Lesson 1: A few changes to ponies today. Fiona rode George - which she enjoyed, and Ethan rode Bally. Chris had his usual partner - Rupert, Kim rode Sultan - and last but not least Bradley rode Conker (see the big smile !). The ride worked in walk and trot. The ride rode without stirrups - changing the rein and steering large circles. They rode escorted for part of the lesson.
Lesson 2: A small group today. Michelle on Ben, Beth on Shamus and Lucy on Ivan - so we had to work harder ! Everyone practised their aids - Lucy gave clear and loud voice aids. Beth used her legs to make Shamus walk on. Michelle sat very nicely.
Lesson 3 : Was a busy group today. Orla & Harvey, Tabitha & Bally, Noah & Bertie, Sophie & Ivan and Maddie on Ben. We started by doing our exercises on horseback ! We were aeroplanes (arms out), then we were cross (hands on hips) then we were naughty (hands on head). We rode without stirrups too. We finished with fun games of lucky letters.
