And now for our surprise announcement!!!
Over the next few weeks and months (depending on demand) we will be offering selective Saturdays for special in house competition workshops. There will be three themes to chose from:
- Show Horse
- Dressage
- Showjumping
Riders will be able to put their name down for one (or more) of these Saturdays based on what their favourite under saddle activity is.
On the day, riders will be with us for 1/2 of the day. They will experience what it’s like to go to a show and participate in competing:
- “buy” tickets at the event office and nominate for a class
- chose classes at their ability level
- prepare pony for a show
- practice moves and patterns
- perform in front of a judge and receive feedback
- receive placings, ribbons and prizes
To make it even more exciting, we will be running a leader board throughout the year, where riders aren’t just competing against other riders present on the day but all riders participating across the year. They will accumulate points that will be added to the leader board and end of the year ribbons, trophies and prizes will be up for grabs.
SHOW HORSE
- We will be teaching and practicing how to get a pony show ready - plaiting, grooming, painting hooves, managing ponies both in hand and under saddle
DRESSAGE
- Riders will be able to select which dressage test they would like to enter based on their ability levels. We will practice different moves and sharpen up pony management under saddle
SHOWJUMPING
- We will be offering a variety of levels from poles on the ground and lead line to independent riding over bigger heights.
Students will be with us for 5 hours (same is for pony camps). Exact times to be announced.
These sessions will occur on Saturdays when Christina and Andy are not away competing.
It will not affect any Saturday morning riders and their usual schedule.
Beginners as well as more advanced riders will be catered for.
5 HOURS OF FREEDOM TO ENJOY A QUIET SATURDAY OR TO DO SOME IMPORTANT JOBS FOR THE PARENTS.
Before announcing dates, we will be looking to see what the interest is like and if it’s worth going ahead, so at this stage we will just be taking names. Please message us to express interest, put your child’s name down and enquire about cost.
Both regular Cashmere students and non Cashmere students are welcome.
PS
Spots are limited, esp on Pearl, so we will be giving away spots on a first come first served basis. We have already had expressions of interest at this early hour in the morning, so we have started taking names.
