Today was a really good day at camp! Our unmounted activity was enrichment feeding. Group 1 used Princess, and group 2 used Magic. Then we made tie-dye t shirts, which campers will get back on Thursday. During the lesson we practiced two-point and trotting. We also ran around in the grass paddock next to camp! 

Monday, August 1st

 Today was the first day of week 4! Campers were assigned groups, we went over introductions, and then they got their camp shirts. Our unmounted activity today was grooming. Group 1 used Zorro, and group 2 used Dancer. After that we decorated wooden horse shoes. Campers will get these back at the end of the week with a photo of their favourite horse. During our lesson we learned about staying balanced in our saddles and how to communicate with our horses. It was a really good day!

 Today was the first day of week 3! 

Campers learned how to groom their horses. Group one groomed Dancer, and group 2 groomed Skip. After that they decorated horse shoes, which they will get back at the end of the week. Then we all went on a paddock tour and met the horses! Everyone did really well in their class and we are all looking forward to the rest of camp! 

Thursday, July 14th

 Today was our last day of camp! Campers got to take home their tie-dye and horseshoe crafts. We also painted horses and learned how to give them baths! Group one painted Sherman, while Group two painted Zorro. Then we had a lot of fun playing red light/green light in the grass paddocks :)

Wednesday, July 13th

 Today was our third day of camp, and everything went really good! 

Group 2 practiced leading Pete, while Group 1 practiced with Loki. We now have access to an empty grass paddock right next to camp, so we had lots of fun running around and playing games. We also tie-dyed t-shirts, which will be given to campers to take home tomorrow.

 We ended the day by making get well soon cards for our dear (pool noodle horse) friend, Wally, who is in the "hospital" after being thrown around a little too much on Monday :). 

Tuesday, July 12th

 Today was our second day of camp. The campers practiced sweeping the barn aisles and decorated wood horseshoes. They will get the horseshoes back on Thursday with a photo of their favorite horse! They also had a lot of fun doing enrichment feeding (treat hiding) with Honey Bee and Ozzie. Everyone looked great on their horses today! 

Day 1 - Monday, July 11th

 Today was the first day of Little Bit camp for 2022!

Both groups learned how to groom our horses by practicing with Dancer. After we were done grooming, we learned how to pick our horse's hooves! Both groups did really well during their riding time. We also had a lot of fun playing with play-doh and bubbles under the shade.
