Tui's Blog about RDA.


This is me riding Mystic at RDA. I go each week. Mystic is a beautiful chestnut mare and she a quater horse. Mystic has a 3 year old foal called Starlight who is dark brown.
Starlight keeps trying to rub againts the fence and eat the salt block!
When you ride you have to be careful because horses don't like it when you elbow them in their flank! It makes them twitch around!
I have just started riding another horse each week and her name is Sophie and she is a bush pony.
Sophie is new to RDA and still gets anxious when she is by the ramp so I need to get on quickly. The horses like to get a carrot at the end of the ride as a treat and Sophie has better table manners than Mystic!
I love riding the horses and helping to groom them at the end and I can never wait till the next ride!

Hi Tui. Bree wants to know if you were scared when you first started riding. And do Jacob and Pearl get to have a go.

Hi Bree. Good to hear from you. No I wasn't scared ride but it was a bit sore to start with! Jacob and Pearl don't get to ride but sometimes they use GIANT pooper scoopers to pick up the horse poo and they are allowed to pat the horses. :)
