The local Pony Club is going to begin training to participate in Mounted Games. This sport is not for the faint-of-heart. It is also not for horses. Much of the sport is spent climbing on and off, bending down to scoop objects off the arena floor, and running heck-bent for leather.
The video in the previous posting give s small taste of the sport.
I am writing this posting to appeal to everyone out there who may have a pony or shorter horse that has not really taken to the safe and sane world of round and round the ring, or will not dressage...These are the ponies we are seeking for the mounted games.
If your pony thinks too much or has a mind of its own, if it can go from zero to ninety in an eyeblink, and if they steer well, the Pony Club needs your animal.
If you have such a wonderful mount, send a video or pics to me at cadencecenter@hotmail.com, or respond here in a comment and embed the video.
Watch the video above and below this posting. This is fun stuff. Too bad adults can't compete, eh?
I don't teach about horses, the horses do the teaching...if only we would listen to them.

But adults CAN compete! MGAA has divisions for all ages - one of the riders in the Run and Ride clip is 43 years old - can you guess which one?
