Hi guys!
My name is Julia and I’m so very excited to come back to Hoofbeat for my 7th summer overall and first as a counselor! I live in Madison and am currently a junior at Madison West High School. Some of my favorite activities at camp are trail rides, teaching horse science, and snuggling with the wonderful Willow and Sgt.Pepper. Outside of Hoofbeat, I spend a lot of time with my lease pony, Wrangler. I also am in the pool a lot, teaching swim lessons and swimming competitively. I can’t wait to see everyone at camp this summer!!

Hey all!
I’m Izzy and I am very excited for camp to start! This summer will be my eighth year at Hoofbeat but my first year as staff! I am from Madison and currently a sophomore at James Madison Memorial High School. When I’m not at school or riding I enjoy drawing, singing, playing with my dogs, and hanging out with friends. I love everything about camp, but I am most looking forward to theme nights, capture the flag, singing campfire songs, and spending some quality time with my favorite four-legged friend, Dante! Can’t wait to see everyone this summer!
