If there is no pony available for the rally, have a child pretend to be the pony and be correctly handed a piece of apple or carrot. |
|
|
Go for a walk and find a quiet, tied up pony. Have members demonstrate the correct technique for feeding – emphasising safety aspects. (Pre-organise and advise owner). |
|
When the members have completed this first task successfully,
they could have their first tick (blue and red ticks on you chart
and their individual charts). | |

Before hand, make a chart for each of the 'D' subjects.

record yourself and add new names as new members join the

Allow the members to choose a card, glue it closed and make their individual chart on the back. |

If they need somewhere to keep their card, it is a good idea to
ask the members to provide their own exercise book. | |
|
|
Use it to stick in the 'D' Charts, pictures completed at the rally and any future projects, which can either be completed directly in the book or stuck in later. |
