The choice activity was "giants, wizards and elves."
For riding, the girls got to try trail riding...
...and riding English!
We did our traditional tie-dye for arts and crafts.
In sports, everyone played with water balloons and did a water balloon toss. It was fun to try and get the counselors wet too.
We are sad that tomorrow will be the last day of camp!
In nature, everyone made bird feeders out of bird seed and peanut butter.
Since everyone was doing so well in riding, they got to try trotting.
Rosie trots all the way down the rail.
Horse fun was hands-on as the girls all made horse feet with cookies and then learned about horse hoof care. Some groups were even able to watch a farrier trim some of the horses' hooves.
Everyone is also working on improving their riding skills.
For horse fun, Holly teaches a lesson about how to lead a horse properly.
It was a blast to play "spud" in sports.
"Celebrity animal" made a great nature game!
The campers also played several get-to-know-you name games.
The craft project was making cool horse head paper bags.
We are looking forward to the rest of the week!
Our special guest on Thursday was an Australian Shepard pup named Lexie.
Thursday was also tie-dye day and the shirts looked great!
On Friday we took an afternoon trip to Peck's near Arena, WI.
At Peck's we got to take a wagon ride pulled by two draft horses-Dolly and Molly.
Peck's had lots of birds, and even an emu!
Everyone got corn they could use to feed the animals-included goats, pigs, a calf, deer, a donkey and many others. 
The bounce house was a hit too.
Huey's spines, which are made of keratin, felt really cool.
Everyone got to pick which horse they wanted to ride, and also got to trot!
In arts and crafts, the campers made art with "fuse beads." That's a lot of beads!
Playing water games was a great way to cool off in the afternoon.
Riding was still fun, even in the heat.
Our special guest was Punky the cat.
Punky helped teach everyone about cats, including cat history, cat care, and some interesting cat facts.
After lunch, all the counselors helped face (or hand) paint the campers.
What a beautiful butterfly!
In arts and crafts, tissue paper and wax paper were used to make "stained glass fish tanks."
Everyone is looking forward to meeting tomorrows small animal guest.
On Monday, everyone worked on steering, starting and stopping, and their body position.
"Toxic River" was the game of the day in sports.
Teamwork and balance are necessary skills for this game!
Our special small animal guest today was Hoofbeat's three resident goats!
Each group learned all about different kinds of goats, and then got to play with the three dairy goats.
Arts and crafts also had a small animal theme as each camper made different kinds of animals out of paper plates.
We are looking forward to an animal-filled week!
