The Musical Ride
What is The Musical Ride?
The Musical Ride is a spectacle not to be missed! Members in teams of between 6 and 12 riders perform a choreographed routine to music, wearing themed costumes.
Some of the previous themes we have seen include: Bake Off, Super Heroes, Pirates of the Caribbean, Bugsy Malone, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Beauty and the Beast, Lancaster Bombers, Matadors, Grease, Jungle Book, James Bond, Thriller and 101 Dalmatians to name just a few!
The Musical Ride in The Burton Hunt Pony Club
The Burton Hunt Pony Club have taken part in the Musical ride for 2 years now, 2018 and 2019 (due to Covid-19 the 2020 Musical Ride didn’t take place)
Last year we did ‘Rocket Man’, wearing holographic gold and silver jackets, with ribbons in our ponies’ tails and large quantities of glitter... we danced our way to 3rd place nationally! In 2018 we were ‘Disney through the ages’ with some amazing costumes. You can watch our displays in the video gallery.
We train regularly throughout the summer months, in preparation for the competition at The Pony Club National Championships. Training is great fun and we encourage all abilities from lead rein upwards to join us. Team members are all part of the planning and creation of our display.
Look out for training dates and come and join the fun!
