Pebbles, Liz and four students are traveling to Charleston later today to attend the Path International Educational day hosted by Charleston Area Therapeutic Riding. Sessions include Motor Development, Sensory Integration, Basic Training Principals of the Horse, Leading and Long Lining, Developmental Vaulting and Lunging and Interactive Vaulting. Participants have been asked to share a lesson plan or favorite game which will be copied and share. The educational day sounds like a wonderful opportunity to learn, network and harvest some new ideas for teaching.
Meanwhile, the western team travels to Montrose Farm in Chapel Hill to compete in their last show of the regular season on Saturday. They currently lead the region in points but will need strong rides to maintain that lead and advance to Semi-Finals in Delaware at the end of March. On Sunday they return to Chapel Hill for Regionals which determines which individuals will go to Semi-Finals. The top two in each class qualify.
At home on Saturday we are hosting Open House and Sunday our last regular IHSA hunter seat show. The hunter seat team has a strong lead over their closest rivals UNC - Chapel Hill; Coach Duda will be working hard to try and qualify as many of her riders for Regionals as possible. St. Andrews hosts IHSA hunter seat Regionals March 24th (the same weekend as Semi-Finals for the western team).
So once again we are super busy with preparations for all these events. Spring break is not too far away, we will be ready for a break!
