Autumn Term – each week 6 children from a class of nine, 6 ponies and 6 faithful helpers made huge progress.   Mary and I share the coaching and  the children responded well to the different approaches.  

 

Six Grade 1 certificates were handed out for  both Riding and Horse Care.  Mary and I decided that a child must have had three lessons before taking a test as these children are up to standard from day 1!  

 

We then had to say goodbye to Razzle and Bobby, as Jo Strong’s children no longer ride, and they have gone to another home.   I really miss them both and huge thanks to Jo as we have borrowed ponies from her for I don’t know how long and chunky Razzle will be particularly missed.  We also had to say goodbye to Poppy as she was outgrown by my grand daughter Gemma.
