Maybe it is because we are having so much fun - or because there are so many of us but this summer is flying by! I can't believe we are already half-way through our camp and I never want these long days to end. The kids are working their tails off and the horses are thriving with all the extra love, attention, and exercise (and food!).
Though I may be less exhausted once school starts, I will miss these leisurely days with trail rides to Spring Valley and daily baths for the horses - and us!
Week Five was no exception to the fun and everything just seems to be getting better each day. The girls still hate the new boot requirement but I am sure the horses are grateful and all of their hard work under saddle and managing the barn can be seen at the shows we attend. The End-of-Week Camp show was super advanced, even for the Walk/Trotters and everyone looked so good!
One of my favorite days was Wednesday - the scary part was Callaia tore her shoulder open - the nice part was we all were able to wash our hair with the products are horses use and we smelled terrific all day. It was definitely a good hair day for all of us and my hair had a carrot cake aroma for a few washings afterwards! Callaia is fine, my hair is back to average and we are all having a blast!

What a great summer we had - the best one yet!!!!
I would love thank all of the parents, kids, and horses that made this summer such an amazing success!
When I look back on all the memories and adventures, I am proud to say that this was our best summer ever. Not only did we have more kids & horses than ever before but we all worked great together to make the barn run smoothly.
The kids that were staff this year, were fantastic and there were a lot of fences to fix and little ones to help tack up. Feeding & watering was a lot of work too and the enthusiasm all fo the kids put into taking care of the horses was amazing!
Next summer will be even better with more staff trips, three separate week long camping trips and more surprises!
As we go back to school, the horses are missing their little friends but we look forward to starting new schools and seeing old and new friends.
