Fun Day

This year’s Regional Fun Day competitions will take place on Thursday 20th June where some of our riders will compete against riders from other RDA groups in Warwickshire.  It will be held at our County Instructor’s stable, Lowlands Farm, Shrewley.  Our riders will enter the Countryside Challenge.  A course of obstacles where they need to show their skill controlling their pony, steering and dexterity as they weave in and out of cones, ride round a pond, open a gate and collect an egg and more.  Some will also enter the Horse Care and Knowledge competition and have enjoy the gymnkhana games.  Although described as a ‘Fun Day’, which we all enjoy, the competitions are taken seriously by our riders, so practicing in our riding sessions has already begun in ernest so that our helpers and riders are ready for the day.   Most importantly though, of course, that Meg, Badger, Marco and Shadow know the ropes and enjoy it too!
