Join us on Saturday, May 7 from 9-2 for the New Hope Play Day! This relaxed horse show will have something for everyone! Students will be able to select up to 5 games to participate in with their horses. Try your hand at barrel racing or jousting just to name a few!
Non-riders can play cornhole or ladderball with new friends, cheer on the riders, or enjoy several activity stations. Lunch will be available to preorder or you can bring your own picnic. We hope you will join us for this fun day of friendly, no pressure competition and fellowship celebrating you, our New Hope family!
It’s like a board game on horseback! Throw the dice, move your horse that number of steps. Repeat until you cross the finish line. The first to reach the finish line wins! Appropriate for ALL RIDERS
Riders will hold a weighted ball (egg) in a large spoon and ride to one end of the arena and back. First to finish wins! Appropriate for all who are able to hold a spoon steady.
A traditional relay race. Rider puts on t-shirt, completes a task, takes off the shirt and passes to the next rider. First team to finish wins! Teams will be made up of riders of all abilities – walk, trot, canter, independent, lead. Appropriate for ALL RIDERS
Just like in the rodeos only you don’t have to run, and you don’t even have to know the pattern! We will have helpers directing riders to the appropriate barrels as needed. Riders will be grouped by riding level (lead, walk, trot, canter). This is a timed event and is appropriate for ALL RIDERS

Time to get medieval! Try your hand at jousting by retrieving a ring with a collapsible sword! If that’s not your speed, rid the Kingdom of New Hope of the grumpy dragon by finding him and tickling him with your sword to make him smile! Appropriate for ALL RIDERS
