Half Term Horseplay at The Ashley Centre!
03 June 2011
The Ashley Centre in Epsom caught Derby fever this week
and invited families to join in some free half term
horseplay!
There was a Horses and Hats Craft Event on Tuesday 31st May and
Wednesday 1st June where children could decorate their very own
Derby attire including hats, rosettes and horse masks.
There was also a Horse Racing Simulator where wannabe jockeys
aged five years and over could choose a horse and giddy up to the
winning post. It was galloping fun for the young and old! Pictured
is Paul Cooley from Simon Dow Stables with The Ashley Centre
jockey Mark, showing passers by how it should be done.
From Tuesday 31 May until Thursday 2 June children also took
part in the Derby Maths Challenge with Explore Learning. The
objective was to race a horse around the track as quickly as
possible and score a prize by solving mathematical quizzes.
