Today was a big day! Took a bit longer doing some of the morning chores before the kids got to ride, BUT we got to do one of my favourite activities with horses! Swimming or water crossings! In this case we rode into the pond so it was more of a crossing than a swim, but a few kids did get wet! Horses laid down, Daley went zooming through eating without a care in the world, Teddy scuba’d all around and carried every kid pretty much 😂 Tater was a bit anxious but did fabulous for her first foray here into deeper water! Overall the horses and kids had a blast cooling off! Sadly didn’t get any action photos of that as I was wading to help out, hoping for some staff or more helpers next year so I can play photographer more!

Today the kids fed the horses their pony popsicle creations which since it’s a pretty warm day they were very appreciative of them! I’ve also discovered that for hot days I apparently just need to dunk my clothes and I can survive afternoon activities 😂

I am somewhat improving on the more photos front 😂 need to post for yesterdays camp happenings! BUT!

Today we did mini trail ride groups with some extra riding in the arena afterwards and then we managed to get my balance barrel I’ve been wanting forever set up! It needs some improvements, but the kids had a blast practicing balancing and fall off! My dad let me buy an old mattress off him which made it easier to practice falling!

We also worked on the jump poles, each participant is getting to paint their own pole that I use in lessons and camps! I love getting to see their creativity! Then because the warm weather has begun we spent time making pony popsicles that we’ll share with the horses tomorrow during the heat of the day. I always have fun seeing what combinations the kids like to try with the horses.

Tomorrow we’ll be starting off with some balancing exercises in the arena, some more fall practice in a more controlled manner (I like to let them do a certain degree of “dangerous” play because of how important it is for brain and body development, but tomorrow we need some more focus 😂), our pony decorating contest that will also incorporate pony painting for this age group, a secret surprise activity I’ll spring on them tomorrow 🤫, likely finishing up the jump pole painting, and finish the day with some more reading (the kids sometimes seem to dislike this, but more of them seem to be coming around to it and being read to as a kid was one of my favourite things and we’re re-reading a childhood book so I am forcing them 😂 but it’s also a good way to have them settle down after a full day to make the transition to home time easier).

Anyways, I am yapping here as much as I do in person! Long story short it was a good day!

Hi everyone! Calendar update!

Following this next camp I am going to take a break between July 18th-July 26th. Outside of May Long weekend, I haven't had much of a break since March. While I love what I do currently, I can tell the autistic side of my brain is struggling. I think I went a little too hard trying to have horses in for training, holding camps, and trying to keep up decently with coaching as well. When you're AuDHD a lot of life is learning where you overdid it 😅

Hoping this will allow to me rest-up and reinvigorate myself for the third upcoming camp and August!

Full album from Camp #1! Including our Pony/Horse Decorating Content and our pony painting craft activity! I really need to improve my remembering to take photos so I catch more of our time!

Our days were filled with obstacle courses that my helpers also came up with themselves, horse chores and horsemanship skills, riding activities such as trails or arena games, craft activities like horse treats or pony painting, and quiet reading time where I forced them to listen to me read some of my favourite books as a kid so that we got some downtime!

Looking forward to Camp #2 starting tomorrow!

Hello everyone! Apologies for the radio silence here, the business has been poppin’ while being fantastic when you’re a one woman team it is overwhelming! But I shall be working to get caught up on my Facebook messages/posts now that I feel somewhat caught up in other areas of the business/life!

Camp #1 is already under my belt! We had a fabulous time, and it offered me a chance to learn even more! Below here are pictures from our first Decorate a Pony/Horse Contest! We partnered helpers with campers to work together to decorate their horse or pony with us all voting on our favourite for a prize! The grand Winners were Teddy’s team for using the theme of the Queen of Heart’s from Alice in Wonderland! A big surprise was also that EVERYONE got a prize for participating because they used their creativity and teamwork!

Camp #2 will begin tomorrow! I am excited to get going with all the plans I have! The group I have is filled with lesson students or prior students so I know it’ll be great time! Though I got more pictures of my last camp, again there are some moments I missed so my goal during camp will be to remember I have my phone with me 🤪
