Hi from Hannah and Maisy!

Maisy and me had a busy Easter Holidays. I took my Mini Riding and Road Sense Badge. I learnt what to take on a hack and what to wear. We practiced where to ride on a road and learnt how to signal. I had to dress up in loads of florescent clothes too.

I also did my How to be Lunged badge. Maisy was really well behaved on the lunge, whilst I had to learn how to do rising trot without stirrups. That's really hard work!

I also did two training rallies for endurance. One was great fun - we had to practice taking water bottles from someone on the ground at trot and slosh our ponies with it. Maisy kept shaking her head and I got soaked! We had to practice this so when we are in a competition we don’t lose time slowing down or stopping to wash down and cool off the ponies.

Last Saturday, 24 members from Whaddon Chase (my PC Branch) took their First Aid course with St Johns. I had a great time learning how to see if someone is breathing and how to bandage an arm.

Heather got bandaged up!

We learnt how to resuscitate someone who has stopped breathing.

We are going to Thetford this weekend and do an endurance ride. But I can't wait for the weekend after as I'm going to the Royal Windsor Horse Show to take part in the PC ride!
