Windhover Farm Welsh Ponies

At Windhover Farm we also do an exciting sport called Mounted Games.  Riders learn teamwork, balance and confidence (all while having fun). 

More Information

Mounted games is relay racing on horseback. Teams of four riders (with up to five on a team) work in friendly competition against other teams. There are also competitions for individuals and pairs.

The games require close communication between horse (or pony) and rider, and success depends on the accuracy of the rider and the cooperation of the horse rather than just raw speed. At their best, games are a lightning ballet of communication between horse and rider.

Riders pick up rings from poles with wooden swords, burst balloons from horseback and put flags into cones on the ground.

There are more than 25 different races and some involve dismounting and vaulting on at speed.

International Mounted Games is played in 20 different countries.
