Game competition gives all pony clubbers the opportunity to have
fun and improve their riding and balance skills at the same time.
All games are played as team relay races. Both good horsemanship
and precession riding enter equally, into whether a team wins.
A few examples of the games the riders play are Pole-Bending Litter,
Sock, Tire, two Flag and Mug Race.
Mounted Games are a series of very fast races, exciting for participants
and spectators alike, performed by young people on ponies. They
require a high degree of athletic ability, good riding skills,
hand-to-eye coordination, general determination to see things
through to the end no matter what, and a competitive spirit which
nevertheless requires an ability to work together with other riders
and to be willing to help one another.

As with all sports, Mounted Games can and are played at many
levels of ability, and although top players and teams now prefer
particular types of ponies, any child or youngster with any pony,
whatever its breeding, can get started and have a lot of fun doing
so.
Check our calendar for our 'Fun & Games' mounted meetings
as well as for in-club & Regional Games rallies throughout
the year.
