History

This particularly challenging course was created by Lila (Liviana Benelli) around 2018. This was a particularly productive period, with many old courses being repaired old and new courses being designed. Chianna developed new sensors for the raised pads, as well as a broadcasting system built into the floor to create a commentary when a pony falls.
This course took inspiration from the movie Avatar as well as a cloud steeple course at another stable which lead to the creation of the very original course we have today.

Description

The course consists of 22 floating pads and begins with a ramp to launch off arrive at the first pad. This is followed by a series of 17 floating pads that a pony must land on in sequence. Most of the pad require a jump however once the you have achieved the highest pad there are some that can be descended simply by walking.

The floating pads are decorated with hanging vines in a lush green woodland. The ambience is that of tranquillity and the pads hang over a glittering rocky pool of water.

Between pad 17 and 18 is a rickety bridge clearly in need of some repair, this can be jumped for safety or walked along before jumping the remaining pads to the finish line.

Should a pony fall, the ground shouts warnings and encouragement, meant to be humorous however, some overly sensitive ponies get offended. This all goes to make the pony a better competitive creature.

Tips

  • This is a walking/jumping course.
  • Walk-jump off a pad, but then stop. Redirect your movement while coming down.
  • Some lower pads can be reached without jumping.
