was the idea of Angela Maskell, who saw children and adults competing
in Working Equitation competitions whilst she was on holiday in
Portugal. It looked such fun that when she returned to England she decided to organise an event loosely based on what she had seen. The
course takes in a variety of obstacles and tasks to be performed so as
to show the skill and riders' ability to control the horse's paces and
to display the bond between horse and rider. The
competition and practice days are run in aid of The Fortune Centre of
Riding Therapy. This is a Residential Specialist College, catering for
people between 16 and 25 years old with learning disabilities and
difficulties. Students learn literacy, numeracy and communication
skills through the horses. All capital expenditure is dependent on
fundraising and donations. Angela also wanted to encourage people to be able to go to an event where it was not important what you were wearing, as long as it complied with Health and Safety, or what style of equipment the horse was ridden in, be it Western, English or Parelli as long as riders could control their mounts, the idea was to be able to relax and have fun!
