Top Barn 12week challenge 2023

[SantaVera]

Starts tomorrow , only a few hours left in which to join. Its very motivating,free unless you join premium which is only £12 so a pound a week for the extras. Bargain. Head over to their Facebook page if you are interested.

What is it??

 

[Ali27]

I’ve never heard of it but just had a look and think I might sign up? Will help motivate me with getting cracking with groundwork with my baby pony over the next few months?

 

[Petmurf]

It’s great fun and keeps me motivated, this is my 3rd year

 

[nikicb]

This will be my fourth year - it's definitely a great way to help with the motivation.

What is it??

Basically one pledges to spend a certain number of hours doing stuff with your horse each week, plus there are challenges to complete with them depending on what option you choose. It's a very supportive group.

You need to sign up before the end of today as it starts tomorrow.

i've joined - not necessarily planning to do anything differently as a result, as I already have a 'plan of work' at the moment, but it's definitely nice to have the community feel, especially as a few people from my yard are doing it, and I may do some of the 'Rhi's Randoms'

This looks interesting and a great way to motivate yourself.
I did the Thunderhooves Enrichment challenges and loved the time I spent with my ponies and found it was more than just doing the same sort of things - more purposeful.

 

[Nasicus]

I've joined, seems like it could be really useful and give me some direction with the baby pony

 

[Ali27]

I’m all joined up and super excited to start! Bringing baby ginger pony in today for first session as she has been left in the field for last couple of weeks while I’ve been ill.

 

[HollyWoozle]

Ah I missed this but sounds great!

 

[FluffyIrishPony]

Ah, I also missed this and think it sounds great. I wonder could we maybe set up our own similar group? ?

 

[SantaVera]

for those who have missed it. Go along to the FB page anyway,you can pledge ,to yourself to do a certain number of hours each week and just go for it. its too late to join premium which is very helpful with its things to do and videos of how to do them, but they are such a helpful bunch on there they will help you along with idea, its very motivating. I missed the start last year but did what I couild then joined properly this year. Soi glad I did.

 

[Ali27]

I just joined on the free part but wish now that I had done the premium! Loving it though?

 

[MuddyMonster]

We've taken part the last few years & really enjoy it! A really geniunely friendly group of people too

I think the Facebook group is now closed/hidden to anyone that didn't join already. Sounds like a great idea though, I'll have to keep an eye out for it next year

If you missed it and want to try something similar but possibly needing less commitment try Alternative Equestrian Club on FB. I started with this because of covid but still do it now as no transport, only do ground work and have very little spare time as a full time carer to my partner. As ponies are at home I can just pop out when time (and weather) allows.
