How do you feel about teamwork?

I prefer to work alone, so I can focus on what I’m doing

Teamwork makes the dream work! It’s much more fun doing things in a team

My pony and I are a dream team – we don’t need anyone else

I’m equally happy to work as a team or on my own

You come across a long sandy track, do you...

take it steady – it’s a good opportunity to practise your cross-country pace.

urge your pony to go flat out – you never miss a chance to go fast.

stick to walk and trot – going fast isn’t really your thing.

use the opportunity to work on your pony’s fitness and try a spot of interval training.

Do you and your pony enjoy learning new skills?

Yes! He’s a fast learner and I’m always finding new tricks to teach him

It’s fun, but we prefer just to go fast

I like to get things right, so I’ll practise a skill until we get it perfect

We already have a long list of skills, so learning a few more won’t hurt

Are you competitive?

Yes, especially if my team really get behind it

Winning’s fun, but it’s more important to try your best and have a good time

Yes, winning is the best feeling ever!

Not really, I prefer schooling at home to competing

Do you enjoy spending quality time with your pony as much as you love riding?

We both prefer to spend time riding

We love both – I spend equal amounts of time fussing my pony on the ground and riding

More than anything I love spending time with my pony, it’s great for improving our bond

I probably prefer riding but do try to spend loads of time grooming him to improve our bond

You’ve got a competition coming up, how do you learn your test?

My yard mates and I will learn it a few days before so we can all help each other

Probably not until the morning of the test – dressage isn’t my favourite

I’ll learn it at least a week in advance, so I can ride through it in my lesson

I’ll ride through the test a few times, then run through it on foot so I can memorise it

You discover a new hacking route while out with your friends. Do you...

insist on waiting until you’ve checked the route out with an adult

suggest you wait and go back tomorrow, after you’ve checked out where the path goes on a map

send a message to someone on the yard telling them where you’re heading, then agree to go exploring

suggest you go exploring immediately – it’s more fun when you’re not sure where you’re going

What’s your favourite thing to do with your pony?

Exploring on a long hack

Spending time with him, giving him a thorough groom

Riding with your yard mates

Cross-country schooling

What discipline should I try next?

You should try pony racing

Pony racing

You’re competitive and love speeding around on your fave pony, so why not try pony racing? It’s super-competitive, really fast and loads of fun. You could even have the chance to ride at some of the UK’s biggest racecourses.

You should try trec

Competing at trec with your pony

You enjoy learning new skills and discovering new places so trec could be perfect for you. It’s a fab opportunity to explore somewhere new on your own or with a friend. The competition has three phases – control of paces, an obstacle course and orienteering.

You should try polocrosse

You love working as part of a team and learning new skills so polocrosse could be for you. It’s a mix between lacrosse and polo – players use racquets to carry the ball, passing it between themselves before trying to score a goal. The team with the most goals wins!

You should try horse agility

Spending time with your fave pony is very important to you, and horse agility is all about communicating with him and learning new skills together. It’s great for clever ponies who love to try new things, and it’s a really good way to improve his confidence and your bond, too!
