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?)
