Bright Star Ranch

Chi joined us for the last day of camp 2. Although I'm sure he prefers being the greeter, he did a great job with the leading exercises today. He especially liked the treats afterwards!😋

Of course, Freedom always enjoys a good spa day before the rides begin!

Today, we practiced safety, horsemanship, teamwork and tried some new things. Everyone had a great time learning how to safely handle a horse and getting to practice with Simon. I think Simon enjoyed making all these new friends too. (They're already planning Summer Camp 2, which is apparently what we're calling it when they come next year! 😂)

Camp 2, Day 1.
We finally got a boy in the mix. 🤣 This year has been all girls so far. We learned some basic safety rules, parts of a horse and got to bathe a horse. (After which, Mrs. Nikki needed a bath too!! Poor Sophie is still shedding some winter hair and I ended up wearing most of it. This was after I got a bunch off. 😬)

As we close out the first week of camp, I have to say that this has been such a fun, sweet group! When you have an odd number, it's really easy for someone to get left out but these girls have gotten along SO well all week long. They have paired off in various ways with ease and have ultimately been the best little group of friends.

Summer camp is more than learning about horses. It's about teamwork, making new friends, and creativity. These girls have done all of that and more the past two days! ❤️

First day of camp is in the books and everyone had a great time. We are excited to see what the rest of the week has in store!

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all who are or have served, and to the families of those who have lost their lives doing so.

The hairdos our horses end up with...🤣. One of the all time favorite activities is grooming and doing hair. We have definitely had some creativity over the years in this area!

The horses feel pampered. Bonds are created. Imagination/creativity is explored. Smiles are inevitable!
