Novice and Newcomers Mounted Games Sessions

There are several sessions booked before Christmas for novices and newcomers. These will be low-key and are aimed at riders who have never tried games, riders on new or novice ponies, and riders who may have already done games but are still novices. The aim is to help everyone feel more established with mounted games before we begin full practices. The first session will be UNMOUNTED. Also if anybody just wants to come and watch to get a feel for games before committing, please feel free.

Please check dates for newcomer sessions and clinics on the fixture list and book in using the booking form attached to the fixtures list. Any questions regarding Mounted Games please email Chrissie (denbighshiremga@mail.com).

These are suitable for all ages groups, and open to everybody who is keen to progress with games.
