Friday Flashback VI

This flashback takes us back to 1993 when I partook in my first pony club camp on my mother's old horse Tassie ♡♡♡


Weirdly I think i got most improved rider for the week, but seeing as I probably hadn't ridden since the previous summer I could really only improve from two lessons a day 😉


Apologies for the photo quality, they are camera phone captures of old school photos.

Am hoping to get in plenty quality time & saddle time over the weekend! Fingers crossed i can find dry windows between the scattered showers & thunderstorms to haul the girls in, ride them & get some more poopa scoopin maintenance of the paddock.

    1. I hate photos of myself, but my mama's horse is too cute not to be featured on the blog. She was in her late twenties then & minded me like the super star she was. The lessons took place in an open field, not many horses would look after an 8 year old kid who hadn't ridden in a year in an open field.

    1. I am super lucky to have had extended family involved in horses. Had I lived in the same country as them I'm sure I'd have had a lot more exposure ☺

  6. I wish I could have done pony club when I was a kid. I didn't take my first riding lesson until I was seventeen lol. My dad taught me how to ride. :) I love the pictures!! The expression on Tassie's face in the second picture is priceless. She's sooo looking for carrots. :D

    1. I was lucky in that I got to do 3 camps as a kid, but as i was only ever there in the summers i missed the rest of the fun of Pony Club. Still those weeks were awesome & I wouldn't not have done them ☺
