Equine College Courses
Now we have just about recovered from the school holidays Monday sees the start of term for our Equine Students. Laura Jones Griffiths will be back Monday night to teach the Adult evening course. So if you are planning to do the course make sure you are here on Monday between 3pm and 7pm to enroll, earlier than the course start time if possible. I have gone over the health and safety induction so many times this week I think I could recite it in my sleep now. There will be 6 full time students this year and 15 part time students on a variety of courses from NVQ to BHS Stages and PTT during the week plus 30 Adults on Horse Owners courses on Monday evening. We are welcoming Lynne on board this week as Yard Manager/Instructor making a total of 9 teaching staff. This week has been quite manic trying to keep up with the amount of paperwork to sort out for next week which include staff rotas, schemes of work for every course, Lesson plans etc. Despite the weather and the so called credit crunch Lessons have been extremely busy. The new ponies Murphy and Gem have settled in well and a new horse arrived this week on Trial - Max a 16.2 TB x Irish Draft, unfortunately he cut his leg whilst travelling here so we have yet to try him out. Hopefully we will get him ridden tomorrow.
The Pony Club have brought out a series of Mini Achievement badges and an E test for the younger members so Mini Pony Club Centre will be starting on Saturday 4th of October with one hour sessions for 4 to 8 year olds the sessions will be £5 an hour and if you would like your child to attend the sessions pick up a form from the office to join the pony club.
