May Practice Day at the Arena

Several members took advantage of our LARA arena on Saturday. The round pen and arena offered a "controlled environment" so we could work on our horsemanship skills. Elaine and Katrina did some nice rail work, although Katrina's pony got tired fast and laid down with her twice. Ponies are so much fun! Lisa brought Storm out, who once again impressed us with his new-found "horse sense!" Thanks again to Jennice for the hard work that she put into Storm so he would become a good riding partner for Lisa! Karen and Taj worked on steering at the canter, and only slightly frightened Traci and Onyx when they thundered toward them! This was Onyx's first time at the arena and he did great! His owner Sharon even climbed aboard and enjoyed the ride! All smiles! A nice breeze allowed us to remain at the arena thru mid-day, then we enjoyed a nice picnic lunch in the shade!
