Handy Horse....

Nelson took his 10 year old rider through the Handy Horse Competition today. They did a tarp walk over, a bridge, picked up a jug of water and many other things. This was a really great day for the confidence of both pony and girl!

Riding Club......

So we finally made it to a club day. Both ponies were great. This was Nelsons first ridden event ever. He was a bit figity but the 10 year old rode him around the big arena all by herself. He was a little tricky to steer but she got him going. They also played letter box drop, bending, flag and barrel and did some riding exercises. Even some jump poles!

His First Show........

Nelson went to his first show. He was very excited. He was introduced to miniature ponies *snort*, Bunting *snort* and a black line painted on the grass, this required a giant leap! He was very figity but did settle, I only put him in his 3yo class, which happened to be the biggest class all morning. Any other class and he would have got a ribbon. Not that that is the important thing...I just wanted to see what he thought of someone putting a ribbon around him. I did not stay for the part welsh class as there are only so many hours in a weekend. He handled everything really well.
