Move-a-Thon Mayhem at Farallone View!
California Riding Club sponsored the Move-a-Thon with a donation and a full-blown hobby horse obstacle course-pool noodle jumps, fancy footwork, and 150+ kids laughing their way across the playground.

Pool Noodle Ponies & Horse Science: El Granada’s Arts & Science Day Was a Galloping Success
At El Granada Elementary’s 52nd Annual Arts & Science Day, 75 kids cranked their creativity to full blast. Armed with hot glue guns, PVC pipe, fresh socks, pool noodles, felt, and an alarming number of googly eyes, they built hobby horses that were equal parts engineering marvel and arts-and-crafts rodeo. Each student made serious design decisions—mane length, ear shape, eye placement, overall pony vibe—because when you’re building your steed from scratch, the aesthetic matters. And yes, in true California Riding Club fashion, they also learned about Equine Uveitis. Because what says “science day” better than crafting a pool noodle pony and discussing horse eyeballs?
