It's March!!!

 

Hello Everyone!

It's been a while since our last blog update and we have been busy here at camp!

The horses are really starting to shed their winter coats and they must be itchy, because they have been rolling in the mud. They look a little scruffy right now!

Some days, when it's sunny, they stand around looking like they are asleep on their feet. Other days, they run around playing and being crazy! We have let them out in their pastures a few time so they have some room to run around. The last time we did that, the geldings ran for over an hour (off and on of course). They can tell spring is in the air!

Sometimes we'll let them in the arena to roll and run around too. They go nuts! Even the older horses act like yearlings - they canter around, buck, and play with each other. The funniest have to be our two mini ponies. They do laps around and buck like broncos. It's pretty hilarious to watch.

We've been doing some painting projects in the slower months. We re-painted the tables in the dining hall and re-painted the girls bathroom in Longbranch.

There was a big tree that fell over one of our trails behind the barn, so Ted had to drag it out with the tractor. We cut it up for firewood since we always need more!

In January we had two Wilderness First Responder training clinics that we hosted and we have two more in a couple of weeks. We'll be busy making them yummy food and keeping the fires going in the dining hall and Lodge for them.

In February we had a group of Boy Scouts join us for the weekend and we have another one coming in March.

Day camp has filled up for the summer - normally it fills at the end of March or sometime in April!

We just added a Horse Lover's Day program on Saturday, May 7th and a Pony Fun Day on Saturday, June 4th.

                                       We hope you and your family are well!
