Hi Folks,

It is me again!  Twice in a week!  Crazy talk…I know!  Your children are so cute!  They are just so lovely.  This morning we practiced our specialties!  We will be doing carriage driving, Vaulting on our Clydesdale (Gruffy), Obstacle Courses, and Courses!  You are going to be impressed!  This afternoon there was a trial ride to Connolly’s, painting ponies, catch riding, and pony spa.  We were offering pool and small animals and slip and slide too today for afternoon activities, but no one took us up on the offer! I guess there was too many other great things to choose from!

Last night the weather was questionable and we had planned to go camping.  I know I told you how I was like a meteorologist yesterday, and boy I was I right.  About 3:00 am there was thunder and lighting, and boy was I glad we had ex-naiad the camping trip!  Instead, Boo told stories of her own and Bubba stories (Bubba is Boo’s mother).  We did a fire in the fire place and did s’mores inside.  Basically all the advantages of camping and not of the disadvantages!

Tomorrow we have lessons and swimming with the horses.  So in the morning half the group will swim with the horses and the other half will do lessons and in the afternoon we will flip flop!  During rest hour we will pack and write candle light!  As you can see we have busy days here!

On Saturday, if you could arrive at 10:00 am parents.  In the lodge we will have a list of who your camper is riding and where they are located along with the name of their riding instructor.  We ask that you put their things in the car as they get packed up to cut down on the number of people in the barns while campers are getting tacked up.  We find that we have fewer accidents this way.  Once you are at the lesson, the senior staff member will be able to talk to you about what you camper has been learning this week.  Around 11 the lesson will end and you will follow your camper to her specialty.

We can’t wait to see you all the day after next!

Best,
Becky
Co-Camp Director
