We are now doing our Mounted Games Program on Saturday afternoons. It is a lot of fun and is very good for balance and coordination. These practices with Terry Vieweg (Level I Mounted Games coach) are open to riders of all ages. We have already bought or acquired lots of the equipment needed. Terry is hoping to put together a competitive team for the Spring. The cost is $37/practice but you must call to reserve a spot and, if needed, a pony (you can bring your own pony). Check our Mounted Games webpage for dates, details and pictures.
