Additional activities including Ready Set Trot Playground Skills games, obstacle courses, arts and crafts and being able to watch the EQ Juniors have their lessons were all big hits during the day.    

All the young horse lovers headed home with smiles on their faces, their Ready Set Trot fun pack and their stunning horsey artwork.
