Saturday groups started off April with the horse colors beanbag toss game. Jayden likes the challenge of going for the longest shots, and the farthest reach 😅 And Myah was modeling the new colorful theme shirt for the year featuring silhouettes of herself and mentor Thea on the back to represent our program goal of “Connectedness” 🩵🩷💛💚

It is always fun to get to see our riders back again after a long break! A number of families who skipped the winter session all started back again with the start of April spring session, and get to catch up with their horses after not seeing them since last fall. (And then sometimes Snowball has to steal the show…that cat! 🤪)

Riders continuing from winter session into the April spring session extended the beanbag tossing theme with some highly competitive games of tic-tac-toe against their mentors! Corbin and Karey also added some suspenseful rounds of Rick-paper-scissors just to determine who would get the first throw, these guys are serious! 🤣❌⭕️❌⭕️

Myah’s advertisement for why you should come be a hero volunteer and help take care of our horse team—so you can have Super (p**per scooper) Powers like her! 💪 Myah is on the Courage CREW (Caring*Responsible*Equestrian*Workers) for students learning how to do barn chores, but we take volunteers of all ages! 🙌

Continuing the winter theme of reviewing horse colors, these last lessons before spring break had to toss their beanbags into the correct hoop below the picture of the horse that matches the color name Tara says. Also, Hadley says “I’m giving ‘Rose from Titanic’!” as she does an awesome job with her trot balance exercises on the lunge line! 🚢
