Sunshine and no wind, a perfect day for the children
to ride and play.
The creative instructor brought out foam swords for
the youngsters and challenged them to manipulate a ring on to the sword and
then to quickly bring the sword across their bodies which would fling the ring
off. Smiles and laughter galore. They loved watching the rings soar. The task
involved stretching, focusing, coordination, and controlling movements. Other
games include trying to guide the horse through a cone pattern in the ring. The
horse leader actually guides the horse, but the riders are encouraged to hold
the reins and encourage the horse to “go” or “whoa” as instructed. Toward the end of the hour, the four
participants played a horse version of musical chairs—no horses rushing for
chairs, just moving and stopping with the music.
