Activity Instructors have a go!

On Thursday evening after we had said goodbye to our guests for the day some of the activity instructors came to the stables to try their hand at horse riding. Alice was their instructor for the evening.

Brin and Teddy were called into action for this task as they are both really good at helping people who haven’t ridden much before.

Now as you all probably know the activity instructors do all kinds of things like climbing, abseiling, archery, canoeing and biking.  Teddy said that they all did really well riding, but a couple of them looked slightly out of their comfort zone! 

Teddy and Brin soon put them right on how to get the best out of a horse; he said the main and most important difference between horses and all the other activities is that horses have a brain and can think for themselves!

By the end of the evening all the instructors had tried out steering and stopping and had a little go at trotting.  Not as easy as it looks hey guys?!

Now all us horses and ponies have been chatting about this and we think we need to speak to one of the instructors and ask them to get the stables staff to try something they haven’t done before; we would like to see them have a go at something new to keep them on their toes!

Sometimes humans can be very strange creatures!
