Special Sports Option - Horse Riding

One Saturday afternoon a group of 6 girls (Jamilya, Tomomo, Maryana, Kristina, Sasha and Sasha) went to do some horse riding. 

They arrived at the stables and the preparations began ...

Firstly, they had to choose a suitable riding helmet. The range of colours was rather narrow.

 As always, they wanted to look good ...





They were allowed to choose their horses. Spark evidently enjoyed the greatest popularity. Maryana was lucky to get it.




The next step was to climb a horse, which wasn't such a simple thing to do.

Some of them needed a small step ladder to climb their horses.





Sasha felt very comfortable on the horse's back. As well as with posing for photos.

So did Maryana!



 Sasha's horse, Laddy, was a bit stubborn at first...

Next the girls were asked by their instructors to practice trotting for a few minutes.

But they soon got bored with a slow walk and they started to move in a  canter. A few minutes later, Sasha and Tomomi picked up speed to bring a horse to a gallop! The last stage of their practice was to jump over a low obstacle, which turned out to be the greatest attraction! It wasn't all plain sailing but they all enjoyed it!
