Pony Games at the Radway Riding School, Monday 9^th July 2012

At last! A competition that wasn’t weather dependant thanks to the indoor arena at Radway. As the competition hotted up, the roof rang to the sound of scores of eager riders having a go at the races set up by Maggie Boswell and her team. The challenges of the bending race, the sock in the bucket, the stepping stones and the ride and run tested the riders to their limit as they were cheered on by the appreciative crowd.

In all, 44 riders entered. Some were representing their villages, but many remained independent, which presented the organisers with an interesting challenge as regards the team medal position at the end of the evening! In fact the result we came up with on the night has had to be adjusted, so apologies to all concerned.

Couple with that the fact that some names are almost illegible on the entry sheet as the staff juggled score cards and course building with ponies and riders. Please excuse any strange spellings of names!

Well done to everyone who took part, and a huge thank you to Maggie Boswell and the hard-working team at the Riding School for laying on such a great event. The barbecue in aid of the Air Ambulance was very welcome and sustained both riders and spectators as the evening went on. And we shouldn’t forget to thank the wonderful ponies who did their best for their riders and obviously enjoyed it as much as anyone!
