Horse Agility

NEW exciting sport for 2010.....

Is your horse playful, energetic and looking for fun?.

Do you want to compete in an exciting horse sport without having to ride?.

Then why not try Horse Agility?.

Horse Agility is a fast exciting way to have fun with your horse without having to ride him so it’s great for horses that are unable to be ridden for behavioural or physical reasons, ponies that are too small for the owner to ride or for people who can’t or don’t want to ride. It gives everyone the chance to compete without having to ride or spend hours preparing their horse for showing classes.

Horse agility comprises a variety of obstacles for the horse to complete, at the higher levels this is against the clock which makes it a great spectator sport in which to participate. Horse Agility tests your horse’s physical as well as his emotional fitness and tests your ability as a trainer to keep your horse travelling safely over the course effectively and with style.

*Anyone wishing to take part will need to be a member of the Horse Agility Club GB. There is currently a special incentive on Membership, for more information on Horse Agility or to purchase your membership visit Horse Agility*
