![Post image for Riders have a great morning riding ‘Charley’](http://www.rda-stratford.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_6182-2.jpg)
With our summer lunch party scuppered by the weather, several of our adult riders diverted to Lowlands Farm, to ride Charley, the mechanical horse…..in the warm and dry! Jo W chose to practice various dressage movements. With constant feedback on your posture and aids, showing on the screen, it’s an intensive workout! Jo P decided to go to the beach, trotting through the water and bravely cantering – TWICE! Jules, Neil and Lisa all chose to visit the farm. Neil and Jules both worked hard to achieve rising trot, and really relaxed into Charley’s canter rhythm. Lisa’s co-ordination was amazing as she steered through arches and halted Charley without any assistance, she clearly enjoyed the sense of independence. It was a fun and functional couple of hours. Many thanks to Puffin for supporting our riders and Zia, from Lowlands, who was the technical guru.
