A beautiful Fall day of riding at Steep Rock with great friends. The horses enjoyed it too, playing in the river and frolicking in the ring. Memories we will treasure.

We held our Introduction to Working Equitation Clinic today for Newtown Bridle Lands Association members. Happy Trails set up a course with 12 obstacles. Clinicians Ed Prybylski assisted by Lucy Prybylski instructed participants on how to complete the obstacles in the Ease of Handling phase of Working Equitation. The rules are very specific and riders must focus on riding their horses with accuracy. This makes completing the obstacles more challenging. Riders worked with their horses on a variety of obstacles- waterbox, gate, bridge, double slalom, sidepass, garrocha pole, jump and more.
NBLA provided lunch for attendees and we all enjoyed the time visiting with NBLA friends on such s beautiful day.
Thanks to all the helpful volunteers who made the day run smoothly!
