WORM CONTROL
Check out these wriggly worriers!
Learn the complete list of Rules for
Feeding & Watering, as well as how to
identify & prepare equine feedstuffs.
A session for Clubbers keen to tackle
tack! Learn about parts, care &
cleaning, bits in everyday use and
have a go at putting tack on a pony.
Experienced handlers make bandaging
& rugging up tasks look so easy!
But they are NOT! They are achievable
only if you are keen to practice! And very
valuable skills, especially perhaps towards
winter time. Also, essential for anyone
considering the Loading badge, Equine First
Aid or working towards C test.
But, with Mini Horse Clothing on offer too,
there is something suitable for EVERY
clubber to try & enjoy at this session.
So, whether you are a newcomer or a more
knowledgeable handler you can have a go.

It is very important for all of us to eat
healthily. But a rider must eat a balanced
diet to maintain the health & fitness which
leads towards more effective riding. This
session will teach you: good nutrition for
riders; how to make easy simply choices to
improve your diet; ways to enjoy healthy
food & make scrummy ‘good for you’
snacks and meals. A fun off the pony
session and a chance to be among the first
Mount Mascal Stables Clubbers to gain this
new badge. This session will involve eating
some yummy & delicious samples! Please
let the office know if you have any food
allergies when you book up.
