On Tuesday I had the honor of taking campers from Camp Breakaway (Camp Breakaway is a free, medically supervised overnight summer camp in Grantsburg, Wisconsin, for children ages 7–17 with cancer or life-threatening blood disorders, as well as their siblings.) on trail rides. This was our 5th year doing this activity for them. They stay at Luther Point Bible Camp for the week.
Our ride starts out in Camp at the top of the hill and we walk up the road to Co Rd M and cross, with the help of our traffic staff. Jason, Maddy, Josie, and Karlee. We then we make 2 laps in the woods known as outpost. We were lucky enough to see deer running around the woods for each of the rides. The kids have a great time and Emma and I enjoy hearing their laughter and amazement at what they are doing. Some of these kids have never been on a horse or seen one in person. It is always fun to watch them be brave after all the things they are already dealing with.
Enjoy the photos (it's hard to get 11 riders in a photo) each ride that went out there was a total of 12 riders including Emma (drag rider) and myself (lead rider)
