Field Trip to the Hippodrome Stable
On Friday, October 19, our grade 8 students from the IB Middle Years Programme went on a field trip to the Hippodrome stable. They enjoyed an exciting and educational introduction to the world of horses and equestrian sport.
Students gained an understanding of horse keeping and received a hands-on training on grooming. They even got the chance to ride a horse and learn the basics of horseback riding: how to mount and dismount, steer safely and keep the proper riding position.
The day was full of memorable experiences and our 8th graders resolved to get back to their newly acquainted four-legged friends in the near future.
