The pony days held over the half term holidays gave our young riders the chance to try their hand at side saddle!

The ponies have been getting used to the side saddles and are now very confortable with them. Now it is up to the riders to perfect the art of riding this way.

Anyone can now come along for a side saddle lesson. We have saddles to fit horses and ponies so we can offer lessons to both adult and child riders.

The polocrosse training sessions have been very well attended with quite a few new starters becoming hooked on the game and warmly welcomed by our more established players.

The polocrosse training day during half term was very popular!

To celebrate our anniversary year we invite all our riders to enter our Design a Hoodie competition with a prize of £50 MRS Gift voucher for each of the two winners.

The competition is for two age groups - 12 years old and under and over 12.

The winning design will be screen printed on the back of the hoodie with the Mobberley Riding School logo on the front.
We would like your entry to be done on white A4 paper using a thickish black pen/felt tip (no colours please) but it can be anything you wish which celebrates 2012 as being our 40th year as Mobberley Riding School.

Please hand your entries in at reception remembering to clearly label them with your name, age and telephone number.

Closing date for entries is 1st March 2012

Good luck to all and we look forward to some super designs

Our Pony Day on Christmas Eve was enjoyed by a group of children who took the dressing up of themselves and their ponies very seriously indeed. Some fantastic costumes appeared and they gave the day a very festive feel.

Well done to all those who came in Christmassy attire throughout the day. You were all fab!

The polocrosse players had 2 great days of play with Amy and Becca and seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves.

We will shortly be doing more polocrosse sessions and we look forward to seeing all our players there. Keep an eye on our Cheshire Polocrosse page on our website for further details. We will be updating this as soon as we have confirmed times and dates.

The adult riders who hacked out on New Year's Eve had a fantastic time with Emma and even stopped for the photo shot on Lindow common.

The horses clearly enjoyed themselves too and even the weather was reasonable, staying dry for most of the time. We will be organising more hacks during the coming year for our experienced regular adult riders. Watch out for details on our notice board.

Roll on next Christmas!

Our Pony Club was asked at very short notice to help with a display at Ashbrook Equine Hospital on 16 July 2011.

Once again we joined Cheshire Hunt North in a simplified version of the display we did last year at the Festival of the Horse called "All Things Pony Club". With only one practice we were ready to go.

On the day it was very wet but all went well. Emma reported that the horses were well behaved and we all looked very smart - once again a credit to the riding school. Well done to everyone.
