Tests and Badges<br />
Over the winter a few intrepid members embarked on an achievement badge adventure.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were 2 sessions in the new clubroom and much fun was had learning about Feeding and Horse<br />
Fitness and <strong>The</strong> Structure of the Horses Foot. <strong>The</strong> members ages ranged from 6 to 13 but all had a<br />
great time and added several badges to their collections.<br />
Well done to Amy and Hannah Esterhuizen, Megan Green, Lilli Chaplin, Jessica Bendall, and Megan<br />
Talbot for being awarded the Mini Feeding and Horse Fitness badges. Millie Deacon for Mini<br />
Feeding and for being so good at answering the older girl’s questions!! And Anna Smith for Mini<br />
Feeding.<br />
Well done to Hannah Esterhuizen, Megan Green, Lilli Chaplin, Jessica Bendall, Charlotte and Sophie<br />
Pettitt and Millie Deacon for absorbing masses of information and achieving the Structure of the<br />
Horses Foot. <strong>The</strong> badge will be coming soon!!<br />
A big thank you to Emma Green for being such a great help and support and to all the parents who<br />
provided a taxi service!<br />
I am hoping to organise a badge session this spring for members and parents!! To learn about Turnout<br />
and Protective Clothing........date TBA<br />
Tests<br />
As we embark upon another busy year of <strong>Pony</strong> <strong>Club</strong> activities please put some thought into which<br />
pony club tests you would like to take this year - all info can be found at www.pcuk.org<br />
We can offer class room based preparation sessions for D+ and C before the summer rallies. Riding<br />
training and testing will take place on rally days (and camp for the E and D tests).<br />
If there are any members looking towards the C+ or B tests please contact me as soon as possible and<br />
I will organise practical training sessions and testing at an appropriate time.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re will be an opportunity for B test candidates to go to a ‘B test camp’ in the summer run by the<br />
Newmarket and Thurlow Branch, let me know if you are interested.<br />
Please contact me if you would like to take a test this year or are interested in any of the above, or if<br />
you have any queries. I won’t be chasing you but am happy to provide tests and training for those who<br />
would like to take them.<br />
