Fun at Inter-Colours Match - December 2006

           
       

December 2006 was a busy month at Medunsa, venue for the Limpopo team’s practices for the upcoming indoor Mounted Games Inter-provincial competition at Equestria and the Africa Cup in January 2007.

Western Province joined them at an intensive week-long, instruction camp, designed to give each team a taste of competition and to provide intensive training in the run-up to Equestria.

It was an arduous week, with the children training for up to five hours a day on a variety of ponies. But there was also time for fun, with lots of good-natured jibes as the two teams enjoyed pumping each other up to the time they would meet on opposing sides of the competition turf.

A highlight of the week was a friendly Inter-Colours competition. Twelve riders were divided into three teams consisting of two Limpopo and two Western Province riders each.

They played 15 races in all, with the following results:

1 Pink Unicorn 31
2 Blue Pals 28
3 Team Cheval (Green) 24

Mandé Siderfin, who organised the camp, commented: "It really impressed me that the riders went to so much trouble to dress up themselves and their ponies in their selected colours. The camaraderie, team spirit and support of each other, was fantastic."
