Arthur's Challenge

For the next Horse Agility competition we had a query about one of the instructions "Handler leads horse whilst kicking a ball" - is that meant to be the horse or the handler that kicks the ball?!

We sent a message to Vanessa who responded saying that when she wrote it, she had in mind that the human would kick the ball, but if we trained the horse to do it, she would be impressed and award full marks...now there's a challenge, so here's Arthur in action:


It is a bit of a drawback being on a hill as the ball keeps rolling off!  He's such a cool pony to work with - he seems to be quite skilled at kicking with his front right and left leg!  Thanks to Charlie for doing the filming!
