Pony Fun Day 24th January 2016


Our pony fun day at Thornton House Farm, today 24th January 2016, went really well. It was great to see some new faces alongside some of our regular patrollers.

The morning sessions of riding and stable management were followed by team gymkhana games. Points were awarded in the races resulting in a win for the team consisting of Anna, Noah, Emily and Gabriella.
Special prizes were awarded to Tilly , for over coming her fears and having a go at jumping.
Most improved to Vita and Owen, who made great steps through the day.
Best staying on to Zach, whose pony tried his best to get rid of him on  more than one occasion .
Best colouring and drawing went to Hetty and Reece.

Well done everyone, hope to see you all again soon
