Awesome, gripping, nail-biting, edge of the seat stuff! You ain't seen anything like this before. If you thought mounted games for just for kids, think again! Having tried a few games herself the day before under Alex Franklin's expert instruction, Fiona Price returned to watch Alex's star studded Shropshire team (full of ex-world champions) win an historic victory at the Welsh Mounted Games Champs' '09. Before the racing began, Fiona met some team members and their (rather handsome) rivals, plus a visiting American team. Alex's mum Nikki explained the racing and Fiona caught up with the team afterwards.

Laura T 26 Apr 2010 That looks like soooo much fun. I need a pony!!!

Diana 8 Sep 2009 I really enjoyed watching this and was pleased to see that the riders dismount between races to rest the horse's backs.

Fiona Price 8 Sep 2009 The music is really important to us. When we started making videos, the professionals told us it should really only be used to denote a scene change. But we are not big on convention and decided that music was a key part to enjoyment. So we use it wherever we can in a large number of our videos!

windy hollow 8 Sep 2009 This looks like great fun! Many kids here do games in the pony clubs. It is great way to learn horsemanship and sportsmanship. The music really helps these videos come across. hats off to whoever plans that, too.
