Mounted relay races for all ages and abilities builds, confidence, balance, team- work and riding skills. Young riders have fun and learn to ride effectively at the same time. Experienced games riders and their ponies learn to go obediently in racing lanes away from the group, ride up to barrels, wait for the riders commands, ride with one hand and without stirrups, reach for ground pick ups, mount independently and efficiently, vault onto their ponies, work well in hand, and be tolerant of equipment, noise, and loud music. Virginia Region Pony Club team, We Got Game!, 2016 1st Place winners of both Prince Philip Cup at the ROLEX KY 3 Day and Presidents Cup at Ocala International 3-Day, and their club mates,will lead a games demo and beginner clinic.
