What do we do when it rains?
On the first wet Thursday in a long time – South Notts did some theory! Although badges are the backbone of the Pony Club syllabus every now and then we run a session that is all about revision. Some members were preparing for a proficiency test – these tests are examined by external assessors and are quite formal. Others were working through the Progression Awards – these help monitor progress towards the next test.
30 of our members worked together to improve their knowledge of horse and pony care, a good use of a rainy morning, and they also learned how to put long hair into a bun, Pony Club style! Watch below to learn how to do it, all the equipment is available from “posh shops” as explained in the video, or you could use a well known online retailer.
Thanks to our model Evie, our demonstrator Ella, and to Jane for narration.
