Horse Agility

[carlo_mio]

It was amusing and interesting to see something about Horse Agility advertised in one of the UK magazines the other day, looks like it could just be for people like me, though maybe I'd need to be a bit more fit. It said that it was good for horses that could no longer be ridden or maybe were too young, does anyone know anything more? I can't imagine it would be like the dog agility that i have seen on my Olympia visits, that would get me really worried

Brilliant, looks great fun, and looks like some serious training skills needed!

That's brilliant.

Ok folks, lets all go home and make our own horse agility vids, (not forgetting to ram your pockets full of polo mints) might not be as long or as interesting as that one but by gosh they will be funny!!

Lots of information on there, including current venues, obstacles to expect and the like. Sounds good to me.

kinda defeats the object that the reason I have a horse is so that he can do the work.... having never had any sporting prowess myself and a distinct inability to run without looking light a complete lemon

LOL. It would be good for youngsters, people who don't/won't ride anymore, people with miniatures, veterans who can't cope with being ridden anymore etc though.

This is what i want to do with my new baby Nico, it looks such fun, though i might need to be quite a bit fitter!!
