On Easter Sunday Bowen Island horse owners and the Riders Association hosted Easter with horses at the meadow.
We had 10 horses and over 20 riders participate.
In the open division we have riders who can independently ride a horse. Novice riders are working towards independence, but still need some help.
Mini Riders walked/galloped around the course, just like the open and novice division, but with a hobby-horse. These games included Barrels, pole bending, keyhole, egg and spoon and ride a buck.
Riders work on the tight turns and control around the barrels and through the poles. A rider wants to minimize the time it takes for each game. Balance and smooth riding help for egg and spoon. Ride a buck shows how well you keep your leg on the horse!
Congratulations to Addison Purdy and Marley Behm for taking home the cash! Lenya Dowler on Kodo-Open Highpoint and Trinity Paulus for Open Reserve Highpoint. Levi Seaberly won Novice Highpoint and Addison Purdy was novice reserve Highpoint.
We hope to host more events like this to encourage more of our mini Riders and our current ones to develop a bond with these amazing animals, please support our local horse club. We will be holding events on the last Sunday of each month.
