🐴💪 Hobby Horse Fitness – What a Tuesday! 💪🐴
Yesterday was another fantastic day of Hobby Horse Fitness, with both groups working hard, having fun and achieving some brilliant things!
🐎 Our First Session – Gridwork & Pony Time!
Our first group focused on gridwork, learning how to adjust their strides and distances between jumps. We experimented with shortening and lengthening the grids to suit the different heights of the children, encouraging coordination, balance and an understanding of stride patterns.
Then, as a special treat, the children had the opportunity to lead some of our real ponies around the fields! 🥰
They absolutely loved the experience, putting their confidence and handling skills into practice while spending some quality time with our four-legged friends. ❤️
🏇 Our Second Session – We Did It! 5K! 🎉
What an achievement for our second group!
Yesterday, we tackled a 5K hobby horse hack, and every single child did incredibly well!
Five whole kilometres of determination, perseverance and plenty of enthusiasm! 💪
We are SO proud of everyone for reaching this huge milestone. What a fantastic demonstration of just how much their fitness, stamina and confidence have developed!
It's wonderful to see the children achieving things they might never have imagined when they first started.
Hobby Horse Fitness is about so much more than hobby horses. It's about getting active, building friendships, developing confidence and celebrating every achievement, big or small! 💚
💙 A huge thank you to Sport England for funding our Hobby Horse Fitness sessions!
Their support is helping us give children the opportunity to get active, build confidence, develop friendships and discover just how much they can achieve.
We're incredibly grateful for their support in making sessions like these possible!
Well done, everyone! 🐴👏❤️
