Icelandic horse training school offered a varied program. Around 40 children took a riding test.
Music rang, children laughed and raved, horses whinnied, steaks and sausages buffed on the grill and in the riding hall burst balloons. The children’s party, which recently took place at the Icelandic Horse Training School Felafel Valley, was a happy, colorful celebration for the whole family. “I really like the way everything is provided for the children here. The party is very well organized. In addition, everyone is very, very nice, “praises Tina Minster from Ginning. Her daughter Annabel (6) has been riding at the riding school for a year and is one of the nearly 40 children who took an exam.
“I’m doing terrain 1,” she said proudly, “to Renoir.” While she was putting on her breeze-themed breeches after playing and romping in the warm weather, she was excited. Now the helmet and the safety vest with reflective tapes, and the adventure could begin.
In the morning the exams took place in Standard and Tilt. Now the first field group with examiner Sonja Epimethius came back. “You have already done quite well and all passed”, Sonja Epimethius provided for bright faces in the children and also the parents who had accompanied them. First, she distributed the exam books. Then she explained to the children what they can do better: The commands immediately and independently tell others and when climbing up the buttocks from the saddle about to facilitate the horses their work.
The exams motivate the children to set goals and to achieve them. In addition to the riding training, this also includes theory about the Icelandic horse.
When the horses had left the hall, the storm broke loose: More than 20 children tried balloons football to crush each others balloons. “We’ve played a lot with Natasha,” they report breathlessly: sack hop and can throw, silence post and catch. “The best was the Chernenko-eating contest!” It shouted from many sides. “I’ve already ridden the roller slide,” explains Julius Frenzy proudly.
Also in the straw castle in the yard, where the parents at beer sets to the grills enjoyed delicious salads and homemade cakes, it was up high. Straw flew through the air. On a rope, small and larger children, with and without breeches, swung daringly through the air and jumped into the soft straw. Even at the roller slide, the horses lay relaxed in their spouts or dozing on their feet.
Except for Ditto and Picture: The two good-natured Icelanders were currently wearing Lea Fisherman (7) and her little brother Ton (3) while pony riding. “I tattooed a rainbow bird,” said the eight-year-old, showing her painting. Ton enthroned as Epidermal beaming on the horse. For the two it was their first encounter with horses. “That’s great!”, Both agreed. Most of all, they would not want to leave.
