🌟JUMPING🌟

It’s teamwork! Rider and pony jump fences together with balance and trust.

Remember:
• Eyes up, heels down
• Straight line, steady rhythm
• Soft hands - let pony jump

🌟OUTRIDE TO THE DAM🌟
It’s time to relax and ride in rhythm. Enjoy the movement of your pony and the wind on your face as you trot and canter through our beautiful Drummond valley.

🌟NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP🌟
Natural Horsemanship is working with a horse’s natural instincts instead of forcing it. We learn to think like a horse and communicate using body language, pressure, and release.

Instead of punishment, we use:
• Respect and trust — the horse chooses to be with you
• Pressure and release — ask lightly, release when the horse tries
• Body language — your posture, eyes, and energy tell the horse what you want

It’s about making the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult, so the horse understands and feels safe. A calm, confident horse is a willing partner.

Thank you Glyn Redgrave for coming to do a session with Tibbs and Apollo. The campers learnt so much.

🌟FALLING OFF HORSES SAFELY🌟
At Pony Camp we practice falling safely! We learn to let go, keep our arms in, bend our knees, and roll away from the pony. No stiff arms or grabbing — that’s how we stay safe. Knowing how to fall the right way makes us braver riders and keeps us smiling in the saddle.
