Hello from
Hoofbeat!
We hope that this
camp update finds you and your family well!
Things are in full
swing here at camp as we gear up for camp opening - it's only a month away now.
We've been busy mowing (it's like a jungle out there!), planting flowers,
weeding, and finishing projects up.
All of the horses
have been loving getting out to their pastures and munching on the fresh grass.
They are shedding those long winter coats - in the pasture there are big
patches of hair where they've rolled. The birds love all of the loose hair to
build nests and every now and then we see one fly over with a beak full of
horse hair!
Chico and Fury
(our miniature foals) are doing great and growing quickly. They love to frolic
around the indoor arena and have been playing with each other quite a bit now.
We think their mothers are glad they have a buddy to play with as they can be
very energetic!
In April we had
almost 90 Girl Scouts and their leaders participate in our Girl Scout Horse
Lover's Badge Weekends.
Now we are in the
middle of our three spring Mother/Daughter Weekends - a big thank you to the
campers, adults, and staff for being with us this spring!
Our annual Open
House will be held on June 4th from 2 - 5 p.m. Stop by and say hi to Chico and
Fury and all of the other horses and staff. We'll have camp tours, grooming and
riding demonstrations, and the Trading Post will be open as well.
Resident Camp is
mostly full now with an opening here and there. Check our website to for details.
Day Camp has some
space in all of the weeks except August 7 - 11.
We look forward to
seeing everyone at camp next month!
-Ted, Mary, and all of the
Hoofbeat staff and horses
