Round Pen Training 2007

10 March 2007

Once again the weather was brisk and sharp for the first roundpen training day of the year. All of the students were wrapped up warm and after a morning of lectures on theory and technique we bravely faced the elements and put ourselves to work.

To begin with the students worked with each other to hone their skills and once fluent they met their equine instructors for the day.

A great session was had by all with some really special moments being achieved by the students and their instructors. A further more advanced session was held with new and exciting concepts being put to the students by their equine charges:-
