Mark's Progress
Mark is continuing to improve, although he still turns like a
Thunderbird!
Physio is going well and he is back teaching from his chair
mounted on the timber box, now called “The Throne”.

We are holding an Introductory and an Advanced level camp from
7th to 11th June.
The advanced group will cover some interesting new stuff from the
ground such as basic “in hand work” and two rein lunging, and in the saddle
start to explore more in the area of riding with contact in the bridle, more
advanced lateral maneuvers, pole work & basic
jumping exercises, transitions with engagement, half halts etc
The Introductory group will work on establishing a solid
foundation of communication and control from the ground and in the saddle.

information, check out our web site or call Lisa on 0418 699 837.
First Young Horse Course a Great Success!!
Our first Young Horse Course was a great success, with students
doing a terrific job turning out quiet, well prepared horses. The lift in the
standard of horsemanship was very impressive over the 6 week period, and
everybody really applied themselves.
We had great feedback from students with regards to content,
instruction, and course duration (no one
wanted it to end after the 6 weeks!).
Our next course starts on the 28th June, and we are taking
enrolments now for that course.
We will be holding an Open Day for this second course on 17th July , being a Saturday for those that could not make it
to the last mid week open day.
Try to get there if you can, as it was a great day for all
involved.

course, check out the web site at:

☺☺☺☺☺Are You Interested in
Teaching, Now or in the Future?☺☺☺☺☺
There is some confusion surrounding Horsemanship Australia
Affiliated Instructors, and how to become involved.
We have a list of horsemanship criteria, that
you may or may not be able to achieve at this point. However, if you think
you would be able to in the future, and are interested in becoming an
affiliated instructor, please give us a call.
We would like those interested for now or for the future to come
to the first week long instructors gathering, commencing 19th June. This will
give you an idea of where we are heading with this, and also clarify what you
will need to achieve with your own horsemanship.
There is no charge to attend, but in return, we ask that you
arrange some teaching days for us.
Please contact Lisa if you would like more information on
becoming an Affiliated Instructor, or attending the camp now and becoming an
instructor in the future.
Please note that attendance at the camp plus satisfying all the
horsemanship criteria is required to become an affiliated instructor.
Group Jumping Lessons
Regular group jumping lessons are back, and will be scheduled for
Saturday mornings over winter, whilst the days are so short and cold.
Please give Lisa a call
for dates and times, and to book in.
These lessons are designed to encourage and build confidence, so
come along even if you don’t think you can do it! It will improve you balance
and focus no end.
Parents and Kids Groups
If you are going to drag the kids pony all the way over for a
lesson, you may as well bring your own mount!
Due to popular request, we are going to recommence the parent and
kids group lessons, where both of you get to have a group lesson at the
discounted family rate.
Bring some lunch and catch up with fellow parents and riders.
Once again, call Lisa
to book in!
