Had a great fun day with Shen-VADA
The local dressage club, Shen-VADA hld a fun at CCS. We opened up the dressage arena, the show jump ring, the cross-country course and the trails for them. 11people with came to play bring with them 8 horses.
Most of them wanted to jump the cross-country fences, which they all did. I led a few out on a trail ride around the farm. We then went to the jump ring and they tried show jumping. Finally a few of them went to the dressage arena and did that. It did seem to me that the dressage was vastly improved for having gone cross-country and show jumped. This might be a thought for event organisers!
After riding horses were put away and we all repaired to the Ride with Pride class room for a picnic. Yes I know it should have been out doors, but rain had threatened all day, though it never actually rained. So we decided that dicrestion was the better part of valor and ate indoors.
People all brought a dish, and we had plenty to eat.
Ride with Pride was having an Exceptionally Cheap Tack Sale as well so people were able to pick out all kinds of bargains for themselves.
Thanks for coming guys.
We had a great fun time!
