Re: [RC] [Endurance Tracks] Great Britain: The Pony Club Endurance Enjoys Fantastic La... - rides2far@xxxxxxxxThe Pony Club launched Endurance riding, as an official Pony Club discipline, on March 22nd It will be very interesting if the USPC follows suit. My girls did a couple of years of Pony Club and I'm afraid I drove them crazy not doing everything *exactly* by the book. (Hey,the girls enjoyed pouring water over their heads during summer camp at the 1/2 way through Dressage lesson break) I'll never forget they were having a real problem at camp...none of their horses would cross the little stream on the cross country course and it turned out that's where they'd lost a lot of points at the Rally the year before. Meanwhile one of my junior riders that I'd brought decided to get cute with them and carried her sponge and sponged on the fly as she cantered through the stream. >g< At meeting later in the year they wanted to have a group trail ride and someone suggested the horse trail at the Chickamauga Battlefield and another said, "Oh no, there are places where they cross water and some of these horses don't cross water! >duh< They were also really big on counting how many swallows of water you let a horse have. It would be good for the kids and horses if they don't get carried away with dress codes & such.
