Open Day Practices

I can’t believe that the Summer Open Day is next Sunday it seems to have come around so fast. The musical ride practices have been going very well. Wednesday is the fourth and last practice for the Musical Ride and is also a dress rehearsal. From past experience this is going to involve an older member cantering Jane round and round until she gets used to the skirt. I think the costumes are nearly made thanks to Carys and Jacqui Morgan although I do have some work to do with black flower pots to finish them off. Friday we had a jumping practice, Jess managed a cracking fall off Jynx to go with the cracking fall she had off Storm the night before practicing the Gymkhana. Last week we had a free for all practicing the Barrel racing and Gymkhana, Tonight the finalised gymkhana team had a practice it was a bit of a disaster here and there but quite funny. The mini pony club had their practice which I think we will do again next saturday along with the bareback jumping. The tickets are on sale and pony club members are trying to out do each other to see who can sell the most. Michigan decided to go lame this week and Phoebe has an abcess in her foot. I’m sure several horses do their best to injure themselves this week just to add to the stress of organising it all. 32 young riders are taking part and they all put so much effort in. We need to keep our fingers crossed for a nice day and hope lots of people will turn up to support them.
