My 10yr old LOVEs her division. She gets to
wear a split skirt or a huge billowing skirt that drapes all over her ponies
rump, and a really kewl hat. Her division runs all the patterns (kind of like
stake races.) After all the paterns are run for the day, then they shoot their
balloons from the ground. They wear eye and ear protection.
Hi April....for clarification....they wear eye
and ear protection but not required to wear helmets? Sorry, I just get
disgusted with equestrian sports that involve children, that don't require
helmets...remember, as a parent, you can INSIST she wear a helmet when
riding...just my little rant for the day <g>
