teach your parents

when i had this idea, i didnt realise just how many people would take up the offer. however we were overwhelmed with the amount of children who managed to persuade (or bribe) their parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles to come along and let the children teach them.
33, yip thats right thirty three willing or unwilling grown ups showed up on sunday at 3pm to enjoy a half hour lesson given by their children. all adults got some basic instruction on how to stop, start and steer before having to navigate an obstacle course, before the kids had great delight in teaching the adults to try rising trot................ easier said than done, however some adults showed they had obviously ridden before, and looked quite professional.
most of the adults brought along moral support, the car park was full, and i have never seen so many people in the gallery.
the fire was on, cakes and nibbles were served, and all the spectators cheered their support, even more so when we all began trotting,
prises were awarded for best instructors and best riders. such good fun we will have to do it again,
big thanks to all who helped on the day, especially heather for making all the cakes and sandra for providing the prizes
