“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”.
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 our Junior A team of Lomond, Kate, Sophia, Georgia and Ruby and last ever team competition, as Strathearn, for Lochlan and Erin as seniors. They all rode brilliantly and did Strathearn proud. It was a great weekend, with well deserved wins for our junior team and 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.
Our Junior Team successfully qualified for Pony Club Championship’s last summer, along with our Senior Team and a Pairs Team. Well done to all, brilliant racing.
