Good morning! (Sound on! 😉)
All part of the morning ritual… these two are at it, playing for hours.
Prepare for our upcoming gymkhana!
Riders will be organized into groups based on their abilities. They'll kick off with a hack-style "rider" class, where their riding skills take the spotlight. No strict dress code here—just keep it neat and tidy with a sleeved shirt. Riders will then be able to participate in a number of events, in any order where their score will be recorded.
After lunch, riders will be offered a second opportunity to participate in a variety of games like the egg and spoon race or the classic sack race. Again, there’s no need for formal attire or extra practice; this is all about having fun in a safe and encouraging environment.
Riding times will be announced on Sunday, May 19th, so riders can plan accordingly. We kindly ask everyone to arrive half an hour before their class in case we're ahead of schedule. Family, friends, and spectators are encouraged to join in the excitement. If any parents are willing to volunteer for scoring or timing, we'd be immensely grateful.
Pack a picnic, grab your camp chairs, and get ready to soak up the day. We'll have refreshing drinks and delicious pulled pork or Mexican beef rolls available for purchase—just remember to bring cash. At the end of the day, we'll celebrate with presentations, handing out plenty of ribbons and prizes. We hope all our riders stick around to cheer on their fellow participants and claim their well-deserved rewards.
We're eagerly anticipating this event and can't wait to share it with you all. Feel free to drop a comment below if you have any questions or concerns.
It looks like chaos but it was organised chaos! :)
So proud of these 6 riders and horses.
Today was the most insane wind I’ve ever taught in! Absolute testament to my fabulous ponies! What troopers. Not one put a hoof wrong. So grateful! ❤️
Happy birthday Valentine! 🎂🥳🎉🎈🎁
The only horse who truly loves being hosed off. He uses the water to “scratch”/rub his eyes. ❤️
Nemo having a bit of fun with Emily! To think- we almost lost him a few years back. 🙏🙏 so thankful for good farrier work and my very good friend who helped nurse him back.
What do you think Nixon is dreaming about?
No one ever goes hungry at camp!
Breakfast is served!
Breakfast with the locals.
And that’s a WRAP! Holiday programs done!
Thank you to everyone who participated and made it fantastic! And thank you to all the extra helpers who put in so much to make our camps successful!
Here is a little clip- a project compiled by our advanced camp students. 💗
Straight into it on day 2 of camp! Vaulting warm up!
Remember the pony who was having too much fun at our gymkhana and didn’t want to go home? Well, he stayed to practice his loading skills. What a champ! Look at him now! 🙂 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Shame his owners can now load him up and take him home. He’s such a cool dude- we want to keep him! 😂
