summer fun nights

what a fun night we had this monday evening. the kids even roped me in to do the games. the most entertaining jockey or should i say faller offer was leah devaney - who not only fell off once but provided the audience with an action replay lol. lol. caroline thought she would cheat in the water race however with the help of her pony spinning round in circles i managed to beat her. the 3 legged race was hysterical - as we were a team member down for this race we pinched nicholas to be emilys partner, with no sense of coordination, emily draped round nicholases neck practically had to be carried home. lol :-) margo and joyce appeared to have lost all steering and kept ending up in the wrong team. a few new additions to the fun nights were karen, fiona, simonne and niamh and ruby. hope you all had lots of fun and we will see you all next week for fun jumping. oh and karens husband is joining in too lol lol wonder which horse we should give him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a great day out

travelling from possel park in glasgow we had 38 budding young jockeys come along to lochore meadows for the day. most of the children had never sat on a horse before, and by the time they left the centre they had all enjoyed a lesson in the school, learning to stop, start and steer, and even had a go at trotting, which caused great hilarity with some of the children. they then all headed out for a treck around the loch. we are looking forward to seeing you all again next year.

new horses

more new horses have joined the team here at lochore.
russel is a 16.2hh grey gelding, he is a complete gentleman and will be suitable for most adult and older teenage riders, he loves to jump and will be perfect for novice riders to learn on and more experienced riders too.
also george who is a 16.3hh chestnut gelding, also a complete gent, pops a fence nicely and will be suitable for novice to advanced riders.
digby is a 16.2hh skewbald gelding, suitable for intermediate riders. pops a nice fence and is an angel to hack.
all 3 will be introduced to the lessons over the next few weeks.

new lesson

we had a good turnout for the new lesson on sunday morning - introduction to jumping.
the group spent the hour improving their balance and position and also working on their control of paces. once this was established they moved on to trotting poles and finished with a few small jumps. they will spend the next few weeks with laura building on confidence and balance. anyone interested should speak to lynne
