Better Late than Never

It is a beautiful afternoon at Pony Farm and all the campers are currently at the Wilton Falls. This morning, the girls enjoyed a 5 mile hunter pace. A hunter pace is a judged trail ride. The campers get to go out on the trail in camper-only teams. Staff is posted around the route to check in. The girls complete the route and are judged on teamwork and their time it takes to complete the ride. Everyone had a blast! Tonight will be the fashion show. Each room is given a category to dress-up and parade down the catwalk. It should be a ton of fun!
Tomorrow is back to a normal schedule, with lessons in the morning and an option of activities in the afternoon. The girls will pick between driving, a trail ride, Budweiser field trip to see the clydesdales, horse painting, and taking the miniature horses to the creek. Tuesday night the girls will play the chocolate game: a game that ends in the consumption of a large quantity of chocolate :). We will also have a horseless horse show. The girls run and jump and participate in a horse show, minus the horses.
Wednesday will feature swimming with horses: a classic Pony Farm activity. The girls will either lesson in the morning and swim in the afternoon or vice versa. In the evening, the campers will have the opportunity to participate in ice cream trough. Picture a bunch of campers standing around and cramming their faces with ice cream. It is not for the faint-hearted! There will also be a big game of counselor quest. Counselor quest is a game of hide-and-seek around the farm. The counselors hide and the campers seek :)

Luckily, the weather seems to be cooperating this week and we should have an excellent week. Other highlights from later in the week include the camping trip and candlelight. Stay tuned for more updates! -Zoe the Counselor
