Saturday itinerary for Fun day number three!!
Lessons as usual, but for the following time slots something extra is planned.
Everyone is invited to join in on Fun Day special times - it's just $20 (as long as you take your normal lesson through the week - or the fun day time is your second lesson of the week)
It's all about Green! St. Paddy's Day - so wear as much as you can, and the one with most will win a prize!
10:00 - Seek and Find Race: We will give you a bag, to collect the treasure hunt items - race thru the set up course, on horse back (no jumps) and collect the treasures ... it's timed, so go as fast as you can!
The one with most items, in fastest time WINS!

April 10th - "Hop IntoSpring & Bounce Like a Bunny" Fun Day
It's the last one of the year ... our fun day during lesson on Saturday.
Anyone is invited to join in on a lesson.
If you take a lesson through the week and want to come and join in on Fun Day - it's just $20.
(you must take a lesson during the week, or the price is as usual)
Here's what we have planned and the lesson times available:
Riding in teams of 2 - one rider at a time over a line of bounces, followed by their team mate. (About 7 bounce in total - 3 along one side,4 along the other side and an in and out between the 4.)
Then ... one rider must dismount and while their team mate holds their horse they hop into a feed sack, bounce down and around the obstacle, backt to their partner. Switch the sake with partner, and the partner repeats the hop in the sack.
Both then re-mount their horses and complete the remainder of the bounces. Fastest pair to complete bounces and bunny hops win.
This will work for all four lesson groups - we will just modify the jumps/bounces.
10:00 and 11:00 lessons are one hour.
The 12:00 lesson will combine with the 2:00 lesson and make a 2 hour event. We need 5 teams to make that lesson work - so come join in on Saturday and have some fun!
It's all fun - it's fast - and all those around Bring your cameras!
A hopping good time!
Update: We had a great time even if the weather was a little chilly! Check out some pictures of this great day!

Then we will design courses on paper, pick the best hunter and jumper course for our ring - build it, learn to walk it and of course RIDE IT!
