Horse Camp 2012

This was Addi's second year at Horse camp in Sulton, Washington. It was quite a drive each morning but well worth it. She loves this camp with director, Eric, and instructors, Elizabeth and Ashley.

Upon arrival at the camp, the campers settle in with a coloring sheet. Sometime during the day, the campers do a special art project. This year, they decorated real horse shoes, made a picture frame, designed their riding shirts, and made a blue ribbon award for their horse.

Each camper learns to care for the horses including scooping poop!

Eric teaches the campers about the care of horses and of course, the safety rules when they are near the horses. No spooking the animals!

Addi enters the arena with her horse, Snip, for the horse show on the last day of camp.

The riders demonstrate trotting, steering, circling, reversing, and halting their horse.

Emily rides CJ, Addi on Snip, and Luke cruises on Henry!

Each camper "dressed" their horse with ribbons, braids, scarfs, for the BIG Show!

Addi loves every horse but has a special liking to Henry when she met him last year.

The show is over so its time to take Henry's saddle off and brush him down . . .

   Clean his hoofs . . .                                              Feeds him a carrot or two . . .

One last picture with Henry and Elizabeth . . .

Time to take Henry back to his stall . . .

And a big thank-you hug for Ashley!

Until we meet again!
