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.

Training

Training starts in the New Year and sessions are run on a weekday evening at Bradfield in the indoor arena and then progressing to the field towards the start of Spring.

Training is open to everyone who can safely control their ponies in an open space at speed.

Our instructor is Heather White, who has been involved in the South Berks Pony Club for over 30 years, either herself and now her children. Heather competed for the club in all disciplines including a successful Mounted Games team.
