On Tuesday 16th December the Equestrian Club held its Christmas Event at Hazelden Equestrian Centre in Mearnskirk. Fourteen pupils from S1 to S5 enjoyed a fun afternoon of games and competitions. Most of those attending are \u2018regular\u2019 members who attend riding lessons at Hazelden on a fortnightly basis, but they were joined by a number of other pupils, some of whom compete on a regular basis. The team games were very evenly matched but honours in the \u2018Handy pony\u2019 competition \u2013 an obstacle course which included negotiating cones and a jump, walking along a beam while leading the pony, then getting back on on the \u2018wrong\u2019 side (a lot harder than you would think!) \u2013 went to Ellie McParland (S3). Hannah Speirs (S1) was second, Beth McGurren (S3) was third and Zoha Alikhan (S2) was fourth. The other pupils who took part were Hannah McGurren (S5), Katy Dexter, Jennifer Valente, Azraa Abdulai , Cormac O\u2019Hara, Caitlin Caulfield, Jemma Ure (all S2) and Liam Harvey, \u00a0Aanya Carruth and Katie McManus (all S1). Everyone went home bedecked in rosettes and looking forward to competing for more at\u00a0the next end of term event! Caitlin McCusker (S3) was awarded a special rosette for being the most improved rider since August \u2013 well done Caitlin.<\/p>\n
