This is an exciting opportunity to see, and then join in with, the Rexon performing ponies. They specialise in liberty work and ground tricks. The Grylls family travel all over the country performing routines with their highly trained horses and ponies. They have also worked on Britain’s Got Talent and are currently involved in filming for a new talent series on Sky.
The day will consist of a demonstration by the team and a talk on training methods. This will be followed by a hands-on workshop either with your own horse or pony or with one of the team’s own trained ponies with instruction from the Rexon team.
Spaces for people bringing their own horses or ponies are limited to five and will be prioritised for Horses on Screen members, but there is plenty of space for those wishing to watch and you will undoubtedly learn a huge amount regardless.
