Help! Riding Club activity ideas!

[JoJo_]

Hi everyone! I am in need of ideas for what to do for riding club activities. We are planning a thursday club night to include flatwork, jumping training, ride a test/video a test night, polework.

I've also got various places we can go on club hacks but would like to throw in some more uncommon ideas like adult mounted games. Is there anything else which your clubs do that everyone enjoys?

What about setting up your own Le Trec comp?

I'm off to a talk by a course builder organised by riding club next week, how to build and how to ride them.
Our vet run a series of talks that have been very good. Lamintis, how to treat cuts, itchy horses so far.

Adult mounted games are brilliant! I didnt get the chanc when I was younger as I came to riding in my early teens, but theres nothing better than getting soaked in the water race and watching grown men and women push each other over during musical buckets!

What is that new sport called, is it Speed Eventing? It's where you do the dressage, change, do your show jumping and then directly into the xcountry phase which is held in the same arena. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Express eventing do you mean zonda?

Vet talks are always good. Horseball? Trips out to horsey places?

Horseball?

You know that's right, you know you want to

Thankyou, yes I do mean express eventing. It sounds like fun. OP, google it if you haven't heard of it.

I would love to do adult mounted games!

A friend recently went to a riding club event which was on rider fitness - they had a fitness instructor in showing them how to do specific exercises and also explaining things like how your heart rate can be sensed by your horse. Can be done inside in the dry too!
