On the Saturday afternoon there was an obstacle course – I have never done one of these even back in my own pony club days and it was so much fun. I took Mulligan and he absolutely loved it and was game for everything. The scary arch with hanging spiders and other weird and wonderful objects was tackled at a canter and I only just remembered to duck at the last moment lol! Unfortunately I was not very good at the apple bobbing and failed to do what every one else did (put hand in and get apple) and so nearly drowned myself lol. Needless to say my time was not that good.
The scary arch :
We then had to negotiate 2 barrels - pick up a tray with plastic glasses and plate and put it on another barrel about 5 paces away. The wig was from the obstacle before you had to dismount - put wig on - hang washing on a line and then remount from the right.
After the bending poles
it was a gallop to the apple bobbing - something I discovered I am rubbish at!
Even Mulligan looked disgusted that I couldnt pick up an apple in my mouth!
On Sunday morning I was the ‘guest judge’ much to everyone’s amusement and dressed up accordingly for the tack and turnout, ridden horse and ridden pony and in hand classes. It was such a tough job as everyone had made such an effort and the little ones were just so cute it was really hard to pick a winner. Sunday afternoon there were more games with narrow and narrower and higher and higher and a team relay race which involved a cross pole, cones and bending poles. Sunday night was prize giving and we eventually got home at 10:45 pm on Sunday night – exhausted. They continued on Monday with a treasure hunt whilst I was back at my desk for a rest!
Who could say no to this :
