Alice in Wonderland was created by Lila (Liviana Benelli) it was the first course she ever created at FFF. Built using the entire build platform it consists of 31 gates and includes both slalom and steeple chase elements. The aim of the course is to be a lot of fun and whimsical, akin to a toy box.
The course covers a massive 16,394 square meters, or a quarter of a region, and consists of 31 elements both slalom and steeple. Set on a checker board of grass, it Includes many elements from Alice in wonderland story, including Alice herself.
When starting the course you pass through a water portal and it suddenly feels like you are passing through into another dimension. A dimension where the mad hatter makes the rules.
There are a number of corner gates some where you must jump individually and some where you can jump multiple gates simultaneously. To begin with the gates must be jumped individually then onto a short slalom of pleached trees before the Dog Gates.
Dog Gates require exceptional accuracy to clear and are almost as high as a PonyGirl can jump. Once this part is passed there are more corner gates before arriving at the Card Bridge.
When the course was created the card bridge was unique and there was nothing quite like it in Pony Play. it was such a novel creation it was featured on Chianna’s Pony Girl Website.
Alice In Wonderland is extremely difficult to master, but it is incredibly rewarding once you get the timings right. To begin with it is many peoples nemesis, however once mastered it often becomes peoples favourite course.
The successive gates make you feel like a gazelle bouncing over them.
