We had a great time this week with this fun group of campers! They were such a great group that was eager to learn! We did rider exercises to strengthen our balance and position, practiced school figures using soft aids, learned parts of the horse, practiced how to measure horses and ponies, gave Jasper a bath, learned some common horse colors, and practiced keeping the barn clean! Here are a few pictures - I didn’t get as many as I would have liked; the time flew right by!

We had a fun time with a great group of campers in walk/trot camp last week! In addition to riding and practicing our balance and rider aids, we learned about measuring horse and pony height, identified parts of the horse, learned about feeding and paddock cleaning, talked about different riding disciplines and tack, practiced leading safely, gave Mo a bath, made horse paintings, and more!

We had a great time in our April vacation camps this week! Our teen riders worked on geometry in the dressage arena and controlling their aids to better influence the horse, practiced safely riding on the road, learned about the skeletal anatomy and conformation of the horse, learned about longlining, lungeing, equipment, and practiced some rider stretching. Our younger walk/trot riders worked on their balance, position, and body control on the horse, practiced identifying parts of the horse, practiced leading a horse through an obstacle course they designed themselves, identified brushes and used them for a scavenger hunt, helped clean paddocks, learned about what and how much horses eat, and practiced some rider stretches. We had a lot of fun with both groups and I think we were all thankful for the beautiful weather and sunshine!
