Hello camp families!
Super exciting day today! We started off our morning with a scavenger hunt where we explored the property looking for clues. We found all of them and at the end we got these adorable little wooden horse shoes to decorate! Each camper then picked their favorite horse so we could put a picture of them in these horse shoe frames we just made. They will get these back Thursday.
The favorite activity of the day (other than riding) was feeding the horses treats! We got to hide treats for Loki, Zorro, and Rosie Girl in the round pen and then the horses got to look for the treats! This mimics the foraging that they would do in the wild and makes them work for their food. We also talked a bit about the different types of feed, hay, and treats horses can have.
Next, the campers got to ride! All three groups worked hard today as we worked on our skills. Some of our campers even got to practice their independent riding skills and we continued to build of the foundations of riding such as steering, stopping, and walking on. Some campers even had the opportunity to practice 2-point and trotting!
Thanks for another fantastic day at camp! Please email me at jdove@littlebit.org if you have any questions or concerns. See you all tomorrow! We have some really exciting stuff planned, including painting and bathing!
Please remember to pack a lunch, snack, WATER, and proper clothing for your camper (tennis shoes or boots & pants comfortable for riding). Shorts are okay to wear when the campers are not riding. Make sure your campers have a comfortable mask to wear.
Sincerely,
Jordan Dove
Camp Coordinator
