Thanks to the Sunshine Region...

for sponsoring this clinic, Melissa Bigsby for hosting it and Brenda Yikes for teaching it!

The step up from a C2 to a C3 rating is a big one. Wekiva Basin has 4 C2's that are eyeing the C3. If they want to test in the original format they have until June to prepare. After that test the format changes and the next test for them would be HB. This weekend there was an extraordinary clinic provided for these girls. Brenda Yikes came down from Georgia and taught a total of 17 hours covering the knowledge portion of the test. She has been a clinician and examiner for many years. Her mother, Marilyn Yikes is a consulting editor for the Pony Cub Manuals! The region went to the source for these girls.

Sunshine Region ROCKS!

Tara and Phantom

Tara is working hard toward her D1 rating. She rides Phanny and Ashley teaches her the skills she needs to survive in Pony Club: namely heels down and when in doubt-GRAB MANE! At the end of the lesson they played follow the leader which Ashley said "With Phanny trotting behind me, it kind of feels like I'm running with the bulls."




Keep up the good work ladies...you too Phanny!

Ashley found this...

Wow! Look at these two now!

Alex and Magic spent the day schooling XC at RH with Sara and Tazz last weekend. (Need pics of Sara.) Looks like the racehorse is enjoying his career change.
