The big kids went to horse camp this week! I called a very sweet high school student we know and asked if she'd be willing to teach my kids a little about horses and to help them gain confidence when around them. I paid her to have them 1 hour a day on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and 2 hours on Wednesday. We are amazed at what they learned in such a short amount of time. Annabelle who used to hate feeding horses by hand now does it without a problem. She also rides around the arena without being led and can get off the horse on her own. She is so proud of herself for what she's accomplished! Bennett can canter and learned various riding techniques. The boy genuinely loved it and wants to do it again. They also learned the basics of caring for a horse.
The above picture is of the kids' ride home on Wednesday! Isn't that fun?!?
This baby shakes in fear when she's too close to a horse. From a distance she thinks they are very nice. She will benefit from Horse Camp some day :).
