Hello From Hoofbeat!
We hope everyone is
enjoying what's left of summer.
We want to say a big thank
you to everyone of the campers, staff, and horses - it was another great summer
at Hoofbeat!
Whoopi the barn cat is
really missing all of the campers and staff. She walks around the barn looking
for anyone that will stop and pet her. Today she came down the barn hill and
was looking in the office windows, hoping someone would come out and say hi to
her!
We are transitioning to
our fall programs at camp now. We have some UW groups coming to do planning
sessions and our after school riding lessons with the Madison middle schools
starts in a couple of weeks.
We also have our fall
Mother/Daughter Weekends on September 25 - 27 and October 2 - 4. Both weekends
are full, but we do have waiting lists. Our spring Mother/Daughter Weekend
dates are May 6 - 8, May 13 - 15, and May 20 - 22. The registration information
should be up on our website soon!
On October 23 - 25, we
have our Horse Lover's Weekend for girls ages 8 - 15. It's a fun way to enjoy
camp in the off season, with riding lessons, horse care classes, mounted games,
trail rides (weather permitting), and lots of other fun activities.
We have a Horse Lover's
Day for girls ages 7 - 13 on October 31. Campers will have riding lessons,
horse care classes, grooming, arts and crafts, a costume contest, and lots of
other activities. There is bus service provided from two locations and the
program ends in time for campers to be home to go trick - or - treating in the
evening!
Pippa is hosting our
annual Christmas Party this year! The date is December 12 and the program is
for boys ages 7 - 9 and girls ages 7 - 13. There will be riding lessons, horse
care classes, a candy cane hunt, Christmas crafts, and sledding if we have
enough snow! Bus transportation is available from two locations. We are working
on the registration for this program and it should be up on our website in a
couple of weeks.
Christmas Camp is December
28 - January 1. You won't recognize the horses in their long, winter coats!
Girls ages 8 - 16, can enjoy hot cocoa in the LongBranch, sledding, a trip to a
water park, riding lessons, horse care classes, mounted games, arts and crafts, a New Year's Eve party, and
lots more! See our website for registration information.
Check the website for
early bird registration for 2016. It will be ready in the next couple of
months!
We hope you have a great
school year and hope to see everyone back at Hoofbeat soon!
-Ted, Mary, and all of the Hoofbeat staff, horses, and
Whoopi the barn cat
