Mounted Games is an exhilarating team sport that combines working together with our friends and ponies in order to complete a variety of races. Teams of four or five riders, or pairs, carefully and systematically train their ponies to take part in a series of exciting races using endless combinations of equipment.
Training sessions are friendly, fun and encouraging with an emphasis on building confidence whilst developing games experience and making friends. All levels of riding ability will benefit. Everyone is welcome to train for recreational fun or to take it that step further and compete. Competitions cater for those on lead rein to Seniors 18 years or younger.
Novice lead rein/ just off/ building confidence – not quite ready for riding independently in Juniors – usually walk & trot only
Junior riders not to have reached their 11th birthday on 1st January
Senior riders not to have reached their 15th birthday on 1st January
Pairs not to have reached their 19th birthday on 1st January
Mounted Games is great fun for you, your pony and your teammates. You can develop skills such as improving balance, accuracy, agility, concentration, hand to eye coordination, team work and sportsmanship whilst having lots of fun playing imaginative games.
