Ever heard of Chris Lombard? If not, you are missing out on an incredible person. Now, I admit I've only met the guy once and it wasn't for but a few seconds, so if you were to ask, he will probably say he's never met me. BUT needless to say he's got a way with horses. See the video below for a sampling of what he does.

Week One......
Wow....one week of camp is over....seems like it just started!!!
It started out wet, but ended sunny and hot. All the horses and campers did a great job and the strides they all made were impressive!!!
Ally spent a good part of the time riding Licorice. What a team!!! Ally and Lic also christened the new jump standards this week and did a great job!
Natasha, joining us for 4 out of the 5 days, fell in love with Copper and also did a great job with Lacey. Her leg position was so much better than it used to be and although she owed me a soda and chocolate on Friday, she did a great job!
Juliana came back to us and did lots of work with Lacey and Whinny. She learned to canter and although being a perfectionist and things didn't go her way all the time, she still had a smile on her face at the end of the week.
Alysha came to us as a newbie and worked on posting at the trot without holding on. Our goal for the week was to be able to do that and steer by the end of the week and she surpassed that! GREAT JOB!!
And last but certainly not least, Sierra joined us again for another round of camp. Everyone would agree that she did an amazing job!! For several camps, she had a walker next to her, but mid week, Klara heard about her doing lots of tumbles and such at cheerleading. When we heard that, Klara said, "NO MORE WALKERS!!" By the end of the week, Sierra was trotting on her own and even changing directions on the diagonal at the trot!!!!
Helpers Ashlee, Taylor, Amanda, Estella, Kara and Tara were on hand helping to make sure the barn chores got done and the campers were on time for lessons.
Estella did an amazing job creating a slide show that was viewed at the "show" Friday afternoon. Everyone was impressed!!
Next week are the more advanced kids: be prepared to work HARD!!!!
