Being the first class for the year, Bruce brought all of the mounted games ponies out to the yards, so that they would be ready for when the students arrived. He knew that they wouldn't need all the ponies... horses, whatever, but there was always a chance that they would need a spare, and it gave them all the chance to stretch their legs, even if only going from their stall to a yard.
Once all the ponies were in their yards, the tack in its named spot in the shed and their respective grooming kits in front of their yards, the man turned his attention to the arena. Tapping a finger against his chin, he have a decisive nod and went into the equipment shed and pulled out the bending poles. They could start off with an easy game of speed weavers, and then move on to sword lancers. With a small group, he set up the lanes so they could play as individuals, rather than pairs.
Once finished with the setting up, he walked to the gate to greet the students as they arrived. "Welcome to mounted games." He greeted when they were all gathered. "I'll introduce you to your assigned mount and then give you a chance to get to know each other as you tack up and then, when you're ready, you can go to the arena and begin warming up. He walked over to the yards. "Cass, you'll be riding Fern here. Eli, you're on Ish. Hazel, I've teamed you with Pop. Kona, you're working with Pixie and Kyoto, you'll be with Rocky. Ask anything if you have questions about them, though I am sure that I have paired you with someone who meets your riding needs, but will over you a challenge when you need it" He walked back to stand by the arena gate, leaving the students to get to know their mounts, and he was ready to open the gate for the students as they were ready to enter the arena.
