Out & About
Everyone at Ardis is encouraged to use the riding skills they learn in lessons in a way that interests them most. For some this may be attending clinics, for others competing and for others trail riding.
This page is to showcase what everyone's been up to ... the highs & the lows ... the good and the bad. Life with horses usually presents a mixed bag!! This page will include both in-house and external competitions /training days.
Meet our 2010 competition team!
Meet our 2009 competition team!

NRC Hamish Cargill Cross Country clinic
Soo couldn't have been more proud of her young riders at this clinic. Katie/Nipper, Jess/Midnight & Izzy/Solly all rode beautifully and were all very worthy of Hamish's closing comments that they are all very ready to get to an event!! Scandal & Galen both had rides with Soo on board with both horses making great progress in each of their sessions. Meals & Sansi braved the bigger scarey fences and were complemented by Hamish for their abilities.
