What fun we have had this summer! Always looking to
provide our students with fun activities we have had our first gymkhana.
A gymkhana is games with horses.
We had a blast!
We started out the evening with egg and spoon. The
objective was to ride around and be the last one holding their spoon with
an egg still on it (not an easy thing to do while on the ground, but even
harder when on horseback).
We also had barrel racing. What excitement as some
of the more advanced students really turned on the speed.
We also did a carrot race where students rode to the
end of the ring, dismounted, picked up a carrot, and lead their horse
back to the start with the carrot.
It
was a fun evening for
everyone and ended
with pizza. Check out
the calendar for future
gymkhanas and other
fun activities.
