Tween camp week has FLOWN by! A couple of our junior riders joined us for a week of horse show preparations, equine learning, and fun on horseback.
We started the week with a trail ride at the West Woods, complete with riding in the creek!
Then, Danielle Struna, a registered veterinary technician joined us on Tuesday to teach the girls some basic equine vital signs and symptoms of injury or illness in horses. Our big takeaway was to take the time to know your horse’s “normal”, so that you can catch anything abnormal quickly!
Thursday, our fantastic farrier, Shawn Nelson, gave our riders a demonstration on trimming and shoeing our horses, including some therapeutic shoeing options.
The rest of our week has been full of arts and crafts, grooming, and plenty of riding. Today, we’ll get ready for this weekend’s schooling show!
Thanks Hunters Creek Farm for being the perfect place for our students to learn and love our horses!
