Today we are checking out another equestrian discipline: gymkhana.

Gymkhana is actually an event where riders participate in many different speed pattern races (such as barrel race, pole bending, or key hole) and timed games (such as stake race, egg stomp, dollar bill race, sack race, etc)! You might have seen our riders participating in some gymkhana games at boot camp and advanced camp recently. Our advanced campers had a gymkhana day on their last day of camp and did a clover leaf barrel race pattern, a flag relay race, musical stalls, and the infamous catalogue race! Check out our advanced camp video recap post to see some of the footage from that day!

Gymkana's are playday like events and can include riders from one barn or several barns or pony clubs coming together for some fun and light hearted competition. These playdays date back to 1957 when Prince Philip of England wanted to create a competition for children who could not afford an expensive show pony to participate in the Horse of the Year Show. It was a huge success!

Gymkhana games are designed to test and display precise, controlled actions and good teamwork between horse and rider at high speeds. Most clubs do offer a variety of classes for riders of all levels, allowing riders to compete at the speed level at which they are most capable and comfortable.

We incorporate many of these games in our lessons here at speeds that are appropriate for each riders skill level. Games are a great and fun way to teach riding skills such as a precise stops/transitions/steering, quick mounts and dismounts, carrying objects in the saddle while steering, criticial thinking skills, and so much more!

Oh the irony! Here you can see Jacko wearing a fly mask. Fly masks are used to protect horses ears and eyes from annoying flies, and we also use the ones with the nose flap to protect from sunburn on noses with pink skin.

But this new fly mask actually makes Jacko look like a fly!

More about our July Horse of the Month - Quasar
...After my stay at the Buffalo with Marsha, we went to Fayetteville and rode among an open hunt field with other horses. I prefer solitude, but I must admit that I had never felt freer or more alive than I did trotting through the grass that day! When Marsha put me back into the trailer, I was again sad to leave, but now thrilled to see what awaited me next. And then we met Dave!

I stepped out of the trailer and took in the scenery. I remember wondering what adventure we would embark upon at this new place. You must know, I was a walk-trot horse and asking for anything more than that was too much work for a horse like me. However, Marsha wanted me to canter and compete in a sport called DRESSAGE. I laughed in her face at the thought of that...When we met Dave, I was completely set on being a trail horse and nothing more and refused to listen to his silly request that I should canter or "shape myself" as he said. We left and returned to my home with Marsha where I was content.

Keep following for more of Quasar's origin story!!!!
