Its that time of year again! Winter Practice Season!
This year we are at a new indoor, since the one we have used the past few years was sold. We made our debut at Almeda Farm in Boyce, Virginia last Sunday for a two hour practice session.
We are really happy with this new venue. So far it’s just lovely people and a lovely facility.
It was just four of us to start off. Val, Carly, Zoe, and myself.
I brought Neville for this practice, which was also his first time really doing games. I have to say he was amazing. This pony is just so easy going and willing to do whatever is asked of him.
We went through a nice easy rotation of races.
We focused on skill vs speed.
And goofed around having fun while we played games.
I am looking forward to our next practice on Sunday.
And then one the following Sunday.
With day light savings and work work work during the week I am only able to get time with the ponies on the weekends. During the week it’s just feeding in the dark.
This is the first winter I haven’t been able to make it home in time for an afternoon ride a few days a week before dark.
So weekend games practices and a few trail rides will be my the limited ride time of my near future.
Bring on the games!
