A M asked:


I have to give a lesson to a group of 8-12 yr. old Pony Clubbers about proper attire for horseback riding. I also have to teach what informal and formal attire means in Pony Club. How can I make this fun?

Me and some of my family are possibly looking to start horse back riding lessons on our private farm, and were wondering how much it would cost to legally have the “business”.

Romeo is suddenly limping and i checked for signs of injury but i couldn’t find anything. He stands on it but he rests it when he’s standing. I know I have to call the vet, but tommorow is a holiday (Labor Day) and their not going to be open. My question is, what do I do?
I dressed his leg from the knee down.

Sarah T asked:


There’s going to be one at my barn on Saturday (next) and my instructor asked me to be one of the ‘attending riders’ on my own horse… I pretty much just supervise the events, but on horseback. I don’t EXACTLY know what is done in a gymkhana though… Could anyone tell me?
ADD:

Yeah, english style.. I don’t think we’ll be doing any wastern things like the keyhole etc. …
ADD ADD:

I’m going to call him tomorrow if I don’t see him when I’m at the barn for sure, I was just wondering.

He said he wanted me to do some example runs of the ‘games’ so I dunno what to expect… It’s my first gymkhana… =P

Jane Doe asked:


My friend invited me to go horseback riding for her birthday, and I really want to, but I heard you can rip your hymen when you horseback ride. How often do I have to ride until it rips?Any ways I can prevent that from happening? I’m 15 btw

THANK YOU!
