Nemesis Scouts achieve the Equestrian Badge
Two groups of Nemesis Scouts were joined by 2 Scouts from
TuScout Troop as they went to Mowsley stables to work on their
Equestrian badge.
Two 3 hour sessions were booked for each group.
The Scouts started their course by learning how to groom a horse
and about the types of brushes used. They were then allocated to
a horse and had a go at grooming and even had a go at using the hoof pick to get all the muck out of the horses hooves.
Next, they learned about the equipment used and collected their
equipment from the tack room to put on the horse. Once they had
the reigns and saddle in place, off they went for a ride in the
school. (more…)
