Hello again. It has been a busy week here at Pony Farm. On Thursday, the campers had their usual morning lesson. In the afternoon, the girls chose their afternoon activities. We offered vaulting (gymnastics on horseback), catch riding, slip and slide, pony spa, helping with day camp, and driving. Most of the girls chose driving, so we had a big drive over to Connolly’s: the dairy farm nearby that offers fresh ice cream! Thursday night was the camping trip. We had 15 campers choose to go camp by Boo’s house. They went swimming, told stories, and other fun camping activities. The girls who stayed behind participated in casino night which is card games and board games. Spoons is generally one of the games of choice!
This morning the camping girls returned and we had another lesson in the morning. All the girls are preparing for the show tomorrow! This afternoon will be filled with packing, cleaning tack, and cleaning the ponies in preparation for the show. The evening activity will be candlelight. Candlelight is a special closing ceremony. All the girls prepare something to read around the campfire, such as a poem or a letter. It is a time to reflect on all the fun we have had these past two weeks.
Tomorrow will be the show. We have sent out emails to parents regarding start times. We can’t wait to see you all there! All the girls have been practicing so hard and can’t wait to show off their skills. However, we are NOT looking forward to saying goodbye to all the campers! We have 9 girls staying over until next session. They will be having a relaxing movie night (perhaps with pizza!). Until next time! -Zoe the Counselor
