love to jump (meg) asked:


I want to join Pony Club, (white mountain region, Mount kearsarge) but i need a generalized idea about how much it costs. I know that big rallys cost more, but if anyone could give me just a basic overveiw and cost of Pony Club that would be great. It doesnt matter which club/region you are in I just need some information.
Help!

Hi, so i am going to get more into shows this year and I was looking at some show sign up lists and found classes for gymkhana. What exactly is it? Are there always the same games? How do you know how to do them ( i mean the patterns? Could my 20 year old horse do it? or is it for younger horses ( yeah my horse is in great shape, i am just asking in general) are there older horses in these classes or would i look stupid?

Oh i have a really stupid question to ask, please dont laugh: how do you pronounce gymkhana?

thank you everyone!!

A Few Questions About My First Gymkhana. PLZ HELP?

Bridgey..x asked:


Hey, I know this might sound a little stupid but I’ve been riding for about 3 years and my first gymkhana is this Sunday! When I had my first pony a few years ago I wasn’t into PC and all that, but I had to sell her because I grew out of her. And now that I’ve had my new horse for almost a year (as soon as I got her I joined PC) I’m really getting into it. I had never jumped before I got Montana and she was only jumping MINI E grade logs.. We’ve come so far together – we’re now jumping D-C grade things..

Anyway, so this is my first gymkhana.. And I don’t know how to plait my horses mane.. She has a really short mane and a TINY forelock (pic included) so will this be hard? Lol..

Also how can I handle my nerves in the gymkhana? I just know I’ll be really nervous before my events.. I’m entered in showjumping, equitation, ring class, barrel racing, bending and flag racing. I know that this will sound really shallow but I really want to win a ribbon! Any tips on turning sharper at a canter, equitation and keeping my horse at a canter would be great (LOL she’s a tad lazy) would be great!

Thank you!!

PS The pic is of my friend Monique on Monnie. Lolz.
