On June 24th our Riding School pupils celebrated St. John’s day with a special ‘San Juan’ stay over.
Veronica, recently back from her Equestrian Formation Course in England, organised fun gymkhana games. In pairs Spanish and English riders played games such as ‘Pig in the Middle’ and ‘Slow Coach’ (a whole new experience on horse back) and did relay races until they collapsed in a heap laughing and Francesca bit the dust after a flying fall from our tiny Shetland, Magic, the little pony with a ginormous ego.
For supper we all made our own pizzas and then it was bonfire time - first scary stories and toasted marshmallows followed by wishes thrown into the flames and jumping the embers for Good Luck in keeping with true Spanish tradition.
Film and popcorn before finally falling asleep exhausted!
Up early the next morning and a good breakfast, then teamwork to learn lots more new stuff. When riders and horses were just too hot to move, it was definitely time to shower horses and dive into the pool before lunch – delish Spaghetti Bolognaise!
Siesta relaxation meant board games (pick up sticks) and film to chill by before home time.
GREAT STAY OVER!
