Adopt-A-Horse Week (Monday, June 27th and Tuesday, June 28th)

It's Adopt-A-Horse Week at Hoofbeat! This week, each group will "adopt" one of the horses and spend their Horse Science and Horse Fun lessons learning about that horse. We will also have fun creating arts and crafts, exploring during nature, and playing games during sports!

Here are our groups this week:

The Falabellas and group leader Megan:

The Falabellas adopted Slammer, who is a miniature horse--also known as a Falabella!

The Shetlands and group leader Kate:

The Shetlands adopted Lighting, one of Hoofbeat's Shetland ponies.

The Pintos and group leader Jessica adopt Quincy. He is a pinto although he looks more like a roan upon first inspection!

The Arabians and group leader Samantha:

The Arabians adopted Ladd, who is an Arabian himself. Look at his delicate face!

The Morgans and group leader Leah:

The Morgans adopted BJ, a very popular horse at Day Camp. The Quarter Horses and group leader Mackenzie adopted Shadow, who is also a Quarter Horse.

On Tuesday, the groups all got to practice grooming with their adopted horse (or pony). The Shetlands did a great job with Lightning!

In arts and crafts on Tuesday, campers got to create "Fuse Bead" magnets.

Everyone has been doing a great job in their riding lessons. Here the Shetlands line up to trot.

Riding instructor Holly leads a Horse Science lesson about colors and markings in the shade.

We have been having a great time at camp so far this week!
