Twas the Night Before the Horse Show

Twas the Night Before the Horse Show

By; Breana L.

‘Twas the Night before the horse show

and all through the lodge,

Not a camper was stirring,

Not even the staff

All the boots and britches were set

by their bunks with care

in hopes that a win

was soon to be theirs.

The campers were all nestled all snug in their bunks.

While visions of ribbons danced in their heads;

And the staff in their rooms, and CITs in Homestead,

Had just settled themselves for a long restful nap.

When morning they rose in such a great chatter,

Girls sprang from their beds to see to the matter

Away to the great room they flew like a flash

Tore open their doors and flew to the staff.

***Today the girls will be participating in their morning lessons, and their afternoon activities will be in preparation for the horse show Saturday. They will be cleaning and polishing their boots, washing their ponies/horses, gathering their show clothes, and cleaning their tack. This evening the girls will head to bed an hour earlier to get rested for the long, fun day ahead of them tomorrow. ****
