At our
riding demonstrations, Debbie started with Kerrera Jeanie doing an
obstacle course.     |
| Next,
Andrea & Glengarry strut their stuff including side-passes, while
Leif & Glenfiddich look on.   |
|
Andrea &
Leif decide to ask their ponies to do the bridge obstacle too. Not
much fuss from anyone. |
Then
- totally unplanned - Andrea & Leif switch tack & ponies.
This was the first time that Andrea rode Glenfiddich & first time
Glenfiddich had been ridden by anyone other than Leif!   |
|
Our
riding team happy & very pleased with their ponies. Left to right: Andrea on Circle H Glenfiddich, Leif on Circle H Glengarry, & Debbie on Kerrera Jeanie.  |
The
crowning achievement: a carrot cake decorated with blueberries to
look like the Scottish flag!!  |
