Mounted Games is a team sport that combines a love of ponies and friends with various races. Teams of four or five riders and ponies take part in a series of exciting and exhilarating races that involve a mix  of turns, handovers, skill, vaulting and galloping against other teams.

Often ran on grass or all-weather surfaces, Mounted Games is an adaptation of Gymkhana and is great fun for you, your pony and your team. You can develop skills such as improving accuracy, agility, concentration, speed, hand to eye coordination, team work and sportsmanship whilst having lots of fun playing some imaginative games.

Games is a brilliant team building sport and an excellent way for kids to make friends and socialise and improve their riding skills. As a club we will do everything we can to make sure that every member who is keen to be part of a team is able to and we are always happy to see new faces coming along to games.
