We truly were in our barn era at HSF this week! It's hard to say what the campers enjoyed most - learning about horses, crafting, riding ponies, baby ducks, or Miss Cheri's awesome jokes!!

Another great week of camp! This week, we celebrated the 4th of July with Patriotic Ponies! Strawberry Shortcake and Diva were reluctant to participate in the pony painting activity, but they certainly enjoyed their cool baths afterward! Thanks for camping with us, friends! We had so much fun!!

As we proceed to camp #3 with Patriotic Pony Camp, let us take a moment to express our gratitude towards our dedicated volunteers.

If you attended the camp, you have undoubtedly witnessed their tireless efforts and the time they invest in ensuring the well-being and enjoyment of our campers and our horses. They dedicate their time to teaching, supporting, playing with, and guiding the campers throughout each week. We are truly fortunate to have such remarkable young ladies as part of our team. 🐴❤️

We had a great time at Bubble Pony camp this week! Lots of riding, crafting, horse care, new friends, and fun!

Extra hand for our barn staff for beating the heat and still keeping smiles on their faces!!

Who's getting excited for our upcoming summer camps?! Muffins requests that full day campers consider packing sandwiches filled with turkey, roastbeef, or sardines! 😉😺

From Miss Lizzie:

First off, thank you to my friends, family, and clients for your immense support and understanding during this difficult time.

If you haven’t heard, my husband and his horse had a freak accident resulting in multiple complex fractures in his neck and a leg fracture requiring surgery for her.

Our barns own Miss Dana has been coordinating much of the fundraising efforts to help my family at this time. My Lessons this week are canceled through Friday. We WILL resume with our summer schedule as planned on 6/11. My weekend instructors lessons remain scheduled as normal.

At this time, due to the need for me to pick up the slack at my husband’s facility in Oakdale, I will not be accepting new lesson clients to afford me the time to help with his training rides and lessons over at his barn.

Our books may reopen for new clients later this year. Thank you for understanding.

Miss Lizzie

As many of you sure, have heard about Lizzie's Husband already. The overwhelming support that has been pouring in has been absolutely amazing for the Orris Family.

So here is a list of ways to help and support:
1. Meal Train https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/8rzly5
2. Go Fund Me https://gofund.me/22574524
3. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4CA4A628ABFAC16-49959078-orris
a. Yard Maintenance (w**d whacking, mowing, and cleaning the grounds)
b. Child Care (Babysitter is expensive if you have a teen that can help keep children busy so Lizzie can teach when she can it would be amazing.)
c. Laundry Help take a load or two and returning it. Minimal help huge impact.

Many ways to support Elizabeth Orris and Blaine Orris.

As you may have heard, Elizabeth Orris's husband, Blaine Orris wa… Hunter Spring Farm Coordinator needs your support for Help the Orris Family Overcome Crisis
