The girls at Monkton Prep can’t wait for Wednesdays! Each week a group of 12 girls from years 3 and 4 don their hats, jodhpurs and riding boots and head off to Wellow Trekking Centre for a riding lesson. Rachel Martindale, Head of Girls Sport is delighted with this new initiative. “It has been a great success and the beginners are learning fast – getting on and off safely, perfecting their riding positions whilst the more advanced group is enjoying the challenge of trotting in the indoor school. The girls absolutely love it, the ponies are delightful and they now have a new group of friends – all with four legs!”
