Youngster's Challenge

Been practising this, another challenge on Horsetales, this one just for the under 16s. It involves an egg and spoon and some one handed riding, which proved tricky in practise........

Where's the egg?

....but the girls got there in the end!

Here's Éowyn's on the lead rein (Gandalf was a bit plein d'haricots)

And Ali's entry for the non lead rein kids

Great fun, hopefully this will be a regular thing.

This month's challenge......

We have started a monthly challenge on the Horsetales forum, nothing complicated, this month it's sit to the trot for 30 seconds.

Ali and I decided to have a go bareback, here's Ali's video:

and here's mine:

Ali originally tried it with no headcollar on, but that didn't go so well as all Fina was interested in was eating......!!

Equestrian Social Media Awards

Ever heard of them? Me neither, until just before Christmas when nominations opened, so of course I nominated our forum, Horsetales. Seein' as it's me who does our Twitter feed and Facebook page........And guess what, I have just discovered that we are a finalist in category 22, South West Europe. So please vote for us here. Lots of other great horsey sites/people/blogs to vote for too........including Haynet (see link, right).
