Heat Wave = Over!

What a great couple of days we have had at camp. With high heat indices on Tuesday and Wednesday, we did most of our riding in the mornings! We had normal riding lessons Tuesday morning and then did bareback riding Tuesday afternoon. When we weren't riding, we stayed inside to cool off and made sure to stay hydrated. We played some water games and some indoor games on Tuesday evening. We went out on trail rides Wednesday morning - the shady woods were a little cooler than the arenas, though it was still quite warm. Wednesday afternoon was our hottest day - we spent the afternoon inside and everyone was VERY excited to go to the Mazomanie pool after dinner!

We were so happy to have a much cooler day today! We had our normal lessons in the morning and rode again in the afternoon with our riding classes to plan for our Saturday riding demonstrations. Everyone also got a chance to spend more time at the barn making horses treats and feeding them to some lucky horses! After dinner, each camper got to choose what she wanted to do with some "Scatters" activities. We are looking forward to a great day tomorrow!

Here are some pictures from this evening's "Scatters" activities:
