Games Day
Whether you're a new member to the club or a well seasoned veteran, Games Days at Langley Riders are all about learning new skills, perfecting skills you already know, meeting people and making new friends, but most of all it's about enjoying the day with your horse.
The next Games Day is October 27, 2024
Games Practice Night
Have you ever wanted to try games but not sure of the rules or if you even like it?
Not sure how your horse will react to games?
Can you ride while holding something? Will your horse go through the gate alone?
Want to practice a few things between games days?
Don't have a competitive bone in your body or can't make our games dates but want to play around with the equipment?
Then these nights are for YOU!!
We will start with instruction on rules and how to do the game, followed by practice runs.
Minimum 3 games, more if time allows.
Participants are expected to assist with set-up and take-down of the equipment.
