Howdy friends!
Today was our last day of camp and you all will certainly be missed!
Our campers got to practice communicating with their horse from the ground by leading today. Using the same clear voices and communication skills we practice while riding, each camper instructed the horse to stop, go, and maneuver around an area. Grace's group worked with Mocha, while Ashley's group worked with Rosie Pony, and Chloe's group worked with Tess. What did you find to be the most challenging aspect of groundwork?
Later we got to learn about all the different breeds, colors, and markings of horses. We put those skills to the test as we walked around the paddocks identifying the different horses in our herd. From stars to snips, to buckskin and dun we learned it all!
In our down time played ring toss, bean bags, freeze tag, and hung out in the shade to stay cool.
And finally for riding! We practiced precision steering during our games and worked at the different gates of the horse.
Thank you all for an absolutely incredible week. This camp was filled with tons of talented, intelligent, and kind hearted equestrians. We hope that you all have a great rest of your summer and that we see you again next year! We also want to remind camp families that if your child is not a current rider and would like to be part of our adaptive riding program, you will have priority on the wait list because they have attended camp. Let us know if you are interested!
Save your pictures from the blog today! Blog gets archived next Monday.
With love,
Jordan Dove
Camp Coordinator
