It is raining...

Well…it’s raining and not just raining a little, it is raining a lot.  At least it was first thing this morning as we were trying to get organized to ride.  But never fear we will prevail.  It looks like it will clear this afternoon, which means we will do our trial rides then, instead of in the rain. (I am sure the campers appreciate this jester.) This morning the campers are in different stations around the barn.  One station is tack cleaning, although not very glamorous, it is part of riding horses.  It needs to be done and one should know how to clean one’s tack.  It is also good training for later in the week as we get ready for the horse show. The next station in the barn is the spa.  We have campers learning how to properly groom their ponies or horses for the more novice riders.   The more advanced campers are pulling manes, clipping feathers, and some are learning how to body clip.  An art form in its self.

We have a terrific week planned!  Have your fingers crossed that the weather holds for us and we don’t grow webbed feet, but I guess that is why there are barn boots.  Last week we dealt with the heat, this week we have the rain.  I am not sure which I prefer to have.

Best,

PS As I post this blog, it is no longer raining
