Veteran gymkhana game - any ideas?

[Box_Of_Frogs]

Well, time for me to organise the yard gymkhana again. Since I'm organising it and I don't know how many more years my retired 28-yr old has left, I want to include a one-off game only for veterans over 25 yrs old, thus ensuring he's the only entrant lol! I want him to have a prize and a cheer, he's a superstar. Any ideas? Walking to the end of the arena and back is too tame. Gotta be a showstopper but in walk or bit of trot only. Thankies!!!!

egg and spoon? Ride trot (or whatever) to opposite end of field/arena, dismount, collect egg and spoon, rider runs/walks back to starting point leading nag holding egg & spoon . . . ???

Or even ride back with the egg & spoon?!!

apple bobbing, for you or the horse - my veteran used to be a pro at walking down to a bucket finding the apple and trotting back

Greedy pony. Only the horse stands still and you run and get the carrot!

Musical sacks. Riders can get agressive, horses just plod around outside of sacks.
