Horse Lover's Week Five: Continued

 Horse Lover's (week five) has been one amazing ride! Even with the hot, humid and downright uncomfortable temperatures we still managed to jam pack a whole lot of fun into one week. We are very thankful that the campers (and the parents) were all very understanding when we were forced to do three half-days of normal rotations in a row on account of the heat. Those days made all the difference in keeping our campers, staff, and horses safe and healthy throughout this trying week.   We kicked off our first Adopt-a-Horse week of the summer and it was a huge success.

The upside to all those half-days, were the awesome afternoon activities that followed. Wednesday afternoon all of Day Camp headed to the pool to soak up the sun in comfort. Thursday was a whole new adventure when Resident Camp and Day Camp combined afternoon activities to enjoy each other's company- and the Air Conditioning! Friday was the most fun of all because all our campers got to show off their best cowgirl attire, play some super fun Minute to Win It games, and even get their faces painted. We want to thank everyone again for making this week such an amazing experience here on the Ridge and for helping us enjoy the summer- regardless of the temperatures. Here are some more images showcasing our wonderful Day Campers and their activities! For more, please visit www.facebook.com/Hoofbeat.

Dream Horse creations in Lower Longbranch

Our afternoon at the Mazo pool wouldn't have been complete without a few rounds on the slide

 During Shenanigans, the girls came up with their own version of a line dance on Wild West Day

Water games on the Lower Activity field were a blast and the ladies loved showing off their best swimming poses for the camera

Wild West Day for Friday Theme Day was a huge success 

 

During Arts & Crafts, our campers even got to design their best old west mustaches, wanted signs and sheriff badges

Face Paint on Friday was also a lovely addition to the day

Minute to Win It games were held in the Lodge and put on by our very own riding instructors. Their big booming voices made the perfect announcers as the girls tried their hand at each game.

Thanks again for such a wonderful and inspiring week everyone! Don't forget to check out our facebook page at www.facebook.com/Hoofbeat. We hope to see you again soon here on the Ridge!
