Hello from Hoofbeat!

Hi there! Well, we have been having just so much fun, we've had hardly any time to update you guys! On Tuesday afternoon, we went on some trail rides, and we played a fantastic new game called Under Seige! The camp was divided into 4 teams, each with their own territory on camp! Each team had a General, who kept their flag in their back pocket, a collection of Defenders (to defend their territory) and some chasers (to chase the others' flags!) The aim of the game was to capture all the flags and take over all the territories! The girls loved it!

On Wednesday afternoon, we did some mounted games! The girls loved playing games like 'red light green light' and 'simon says'! In the evening we had our fabulous theme night: It was HOOFBEAT HOMECOMING! The girls had a fantastic time getting ready for the big game: MAIN HERD vs ROADSIDE! They learned football plays, had an Ice Cream Social, and even made campaign posters for which horses should be Homecoming King & Queen! They all voted, and after the big game, Diego & Buttercup were announced as our royal horses!

On Thursday, the girls got excited for Demos, and turned in their Demonstration Horse requests! We spent the afternoon planning on what we would do in our demos, as well as learning about some Hoofbeat History! After dinner, we had some fun back at the barn doing Barn Scatters! The girls got to choose what they did, whether it was grooming, horse trivia or celebrity horse!

We have had a fun-packed week so far! We can't wait to show you what we've learned!






























Thanks for checking in!
