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”.
