April Vacation Camp starts with a bang!!!

With a day that was sunny and mild, we started our April Vacation Camp. All eight girls were eager to begin riding and ride they did. Four riders at a time got on a horse in the ring while the other four either walked beside the riders or watched from outside the ring. The first horses used were Whinny, Jelly, Lacey and Red. All four ponies did a great job and so did the riders. It was a nice warm up.

Next, Joey, Copper, Licorice and our new addition Emma were worked. Emma was in the round pen with one rider while the others were in the arena with 3 more riders. All horses were good, if only a bit grouchy towards the end.

Riders Ally, Ashlee, Emma, Sierra, Natasha, Taylor, Brickley, and Molly did a great job for their first day of camp, each having 3 rides in all. That's about 90 minutes in the saddle!!!

The rest of the week will be learning about farriers and we will watch a farrier do his job! Other activities will include crafts, movies, a trip to Dunkin Donuts, and of course more riding!

Thanks to Amanda, Tara and Estella for all of your hard work today!!!
