I so want to after our yard fun day on sunday!
I never went to pony club when i was little so it was the first time I've ever done mounted games and i have never laughed so much.
I was a bit concerned how Hovis would cope with it all but he was an angel even when other people rode him.
We did lots of games like egg and spoon race, a obstacle course carrying water, slowest walk, a flag race, roll out the barrel etc. He does not get the idea of running with me though - he just puts his head up and looks at me completely confused. The only time I thought he'd freak he got hold of the flag i was trying to grab with his teeth and then let go - it spanked him on the nose quite hard and so i held my breath for a minute but he just went back for another look!
So having been deprived of all this as a kid do you reckon my 16HH Destroyer and I might be allowed to join in at pony club?!!!

We have a picnic ride sorted for Saturday (three stops, one for each course) and then games at the last stop.
