Ring Toss
What you'll need
- Tall cone
- Plastic or rubber rings large enough to fit over
cone
Preparation
- Set cone in a clear area of the arena
- Have rings collected somewhere accessible
Game
Rider tosses rings onto cone. "Ring around
the cone"
Variations:
- Rider tosses rings from farther away
- Walk/trot/canter and toss rings
- Rider closes eyes and throws rings
- Advanced riders: Rider starts on one end
of the ring, rides quickly to a certain
line, stops and dismounts, then throws rings
from line, remounts, and rides back to
finish line
Added benefits:
Hand-to-eye-coordination is one of the
added benefits to this game. Teaches student
how to throw things without startling horse,
balance/coordination and good posture (did
you ever try to slump when you were throwing
something?)
