Young Riders Club

This Club has been created for our young riders who wish to improve their riding and also learn about stable management. You will learn new skills and also make lots of friends with people who love our ponies as much as you. The minimum age for the club is 7 years at 13 our members can move onto Young Equestrians. Young Equestrians, a club for 13 to 18 years more details are on Young Equestrians page.

 

Follifoot Park Young Riders Club has been formed to provide:

  • Safe and FUN instruction
  • More knowledge in stable care so you are safe around our ponies/horses
  • To give you more awareness and understanding of horse behaviour
  • Support to each other, learn how to work as a team and show good sportsmanship
  • Joining in, helping and fundraising for our charity days
  • Riders to gain confidence and meet lots of new people, who you can swap your knowledge with and also learn a lot from them. They will be interested in the same things as you…horses!
  • We want our members to learn a lot about the thing they love but most of all we want them to have lots of FUN!!!!
  • Eventually you may be able to assist with the ponies at the weekend or during the holidays, you will need to have completed training sessions and attended Saturday Morning Club . You can also have stable management lessons towards your ABRS Equestrian Care Awards (entry, intermediate and senior levels).

 

 

 

 

What are the benefits of joining our fun Club?

  • You can learn lots about how your favourite pony thinks and what special signs to look out for in his behaviour when you are handling him or her. You will learn how to groom our ponies properly, how to turn them out into a field, how much food and water they eat and drink each day and a lot more. 
  • You may have heard of the ABRS Tests that you can do as part of your normal riding lessons, Club members can get extra training to help you do them faster…you could even have a race with one of your friends to see who gets to test E the fastest!

 

We hope that you will enjoy being part of our friendly yard and we look forward to working with you in the future.

 

 

 

Club Fun!
