Another Advanced camp complete! This week’s agenda included learning distances and keeping pace, tempo and rhythm. We worked in the arena doing various gymnastics until riders could confidently execute the required canter strides over the obstacle. Once achieved our amazing equestrians tested their skills outside of the arena out in the open. These videos perfectly capture the hard work and determination each one of them put in everyday showing exponential growth over our 5 days. During our stable management classes we discussed anatomy, first aid, sign of illness, and the broken down components of jumping and gymnastics over fences. Riders were instructed on how to read their horses expressions and reactions and were given tools on how to reward and recognize stress and relaxation. We also had a great discussion on a rider’s goals, development, and connection to their horse. I was blown away by how much these campers supported each other, cheered each other on and how exceptional their horsemanship was. They all made me very proud this week. This coming week we are excited to be hosting our all level campers! It’s sure to be full of excitement and fun! See you soon! Tally Ho!
