Horse Camp

Last week Brya got to go to a summer horse camp. It was part for her birthday and part because she did not have her discipline folder signed for the whole year (school thing). She has been obsessed with horses for about a year and a half and I was hoping this would get it out of her system.....I was wrong. She absolutely loved it. She was up at 6am ready to go for most of the mornings. She was even excited to "get to" muck out the stalls. The only thing she complained about was the flies. I'm very glad we live in a subdivision that does not allow horses...whew!! The other day I caught her bouncing up and down on her bike and when I asked her what she was doing she said "I'm practicing my posting!" (something you do in an English saddle not a Western saddle, she informed me.)

Riding bareback.

Nolan and Thea liked to go into the barn and pet the horses too. Nolan even got to feed one a peppermint.



Brya wanted to help with the "untacking" (is that a word??) but she was too short for some of it and needed help.

Sorry about the picture quality. My camera and the barn were not getting along.
