Went to the RDA today

Was brilliant, can't wait til next week!!

I thought a lot of the kids would just need someone to lead the pony, but that was quite ignorant. The kids I met today can't talk, not like they don't know how but they struggle to communicate in general and so I was with a girl being lead on a pony, and me and one of the carer's walked either side of her holding her legs in place so that she didn't bring them up or dig them in.

The lesson was spent steering through cones and trying to choose certain colours to go through, lots don't know what colour is what or exactly what we're doing but everyone natters away to each other about it anyway

Really loved it, can't wait til next week. I hate to say it, but I think I've got the horsey bug back!!

Awesome!

Keep up the good work

I think I get more out of it than they do, but I don't care I like ponies haha.

Going to try and go twice a week from next week I think, fill my time up a bit

glad you enjoyed it hun, i'd like to get over my fear of them but dont reckon that'll happen.

Sid you must be the ONLY woman in the world who is scared of ponies

I KNOW!!

Hahaha most horses/ponies just stand there and look around anyway, they don't run at you, steal your shoes then go off chewing them like cows

It was well good though, gonna be bored all day want to go back!

Evil Horses Bite your Fingers! :O

Haha I don't think I've ever been bitten by a horse to be honest but I bet it hurts!!

my brother did, when he was about 8 or 9, right on his belly. Mum had to write a note to his PE teacher explaining what happened because it looked like he's been really badly beaten!

Oh gosh I bet that was sore! All bruised I'm guessing? Ouch what a git of a horse to do that

I know some who were classed as a little nippy. You'd be bent over picking their feet out and they might nip your bum! Never happened to me mind! My horse used to pretend to do it to wind you up little sod. You'd be bent over and sometimes your shirt went up and exposed your lower back. He'd rub his nose lightly on your back just to scare you

haha! clever little sod!

Are you sure the Horse just didn't bite your bum cause it was to big!?

Hahaha no those were my skinny days

I weighed about 9 stone at 5'9, I'm no way near that now!
