PONY RACING IS GREAT...BEING GOOD MATES IS JUST AS GREAT..BILLIE ALYSSA AND JADE..
They teach more things at QJHRA than just how to handle a pony,and drive it in a race.They also teach,that,while winning is great,the most important things are,to compete to the best of you and your pony's ability every time,and to be gracious in both victory and defeat.(there will be plenty of both)..
BOB'S DEAFENERS....BOTH PRACTICAL AND RATHER FUN..
BOB THE BUILDER looking fantastic in his disco-trendy deafeners.Not a fashion statement but a calmer.BOB likes it a bit quiet.
MINI-TROTTERS ARE AS MUCH A LEARNING CURVE AS A FUN THING...
Leonard Cain performs one of the more technical tasks associated with the gearing up of a mini-trotter.He is adjusting the tension on a set of half hopples.A hard enough job on a full size horse,very difficult on a "mini".Leonard is learning fast,and learning hard...HANDS ON!!
