The last day was tons of fun! We started the day off by learning the parts of the English and Western saddles. Then we played a game to review the parts of the bridle and saddle. Next, the campers learned how to clean tack and then helped out and cleaned our horses' tack. Instead of doing arena work, the campers went on trail ride. We got back and took some fun group pictures. We then finished our horse shoe picture frames. At the end of the day we had a lot of fun pretending we were horses and jumping the jumps set up in the arena like it was a mini show!

On day three of camp the campers started the day off with helping with morning chores. Then they cleaned and spray painted horse shoes for their craft. The horse shoe would become a picture frame, so we took pictures of the students and their favorite horse to go inside. Later in the day they got to ride and we finished the day with learning about the parts of the bridle.

The campers had a lot of fun riding the horses at the barn! Later in the day, they learned about horse anatomy and health care, and painted the horses. When they were done painting we had a parade so everyone could show off their artwork!
