A message from Stacy
“Going forward for training, and primarily as we move outdoors I’m keen to do the traditional running of the games at the practises but I’m also going to look at getting some external riding support for some of the core skills our riders need e.g effectively stopping ponies at faster speeds, helping ponies turn faster, tighter and in balance and accelerating quickly. These skills come from the rider so there will be sessions where we split the time into traditional games practise and an hour of riding skills which are beneficial for games. This will not be flatwork lessons but the focus will be on making our kids more effective in the saddle, built confidence and enjoyment which will be transferable across all PC activities”.
Congratulations to our Scottish Team trialists Katherine, Erin and Lochlan who all rode fantastically representing Strathearn . Erin was selected for the team and Lochlan was selected as the non riding reserve. We wish them all the best at Windsor this year.
The Scottish Horse of The Year show is the finale of the pony club games year for our club. It was the last junior competition for 3 of our juniors, Emily, Oli and Cora and last ever team competition for Aimee in the seniors. They all rode incredibly well and did Strathearn proud. It was a great weekend, with a win for our junior A’s, 3rd for our B’s and a hard earned 2nd for our senior team. As always this could not happen without the hard work of our coaches and parents and competition organisers- thank you all so much.
Two of our Junior Teams successfully qualified for Pony Club Championship’s last summer, along with our Senior Team and Two Pairs Teams. Here are some of our junior team members along with their coaches.
