Christmas Mini Camp

 Hello from Hoofbeat! 

We've had a couple of fun days here at camp over Christmas break! This was the first time in a very long time that we have not been able to have our usual sleep over Christmas Camp, but we were glad to be able to offer two day camps. 

On Tuesday, everyone enjoyed a couple of riding lessons, arts and crafts, sledding, pictures with our mini ponies, an elf hunt, and some time in the dining hall to roast marshmallows, and warming up with hot cocoa. Wednesday brought a bunch more snow, so campers enjoyed sledding, more riding time, horse care classes, pony time, and hot cocoa and s'mores in the dining hall. Whew! It was a busy two days and we want to thank everyone that joined us. Thank you to all of our amazing staff also!

Happy New Year and we look forward to more fun times at camp in 2021!!!!

Merry Christmas!

 Hello from Hoofbeat!

Well it finally feels like winter at camp! We've gotten a couple of snow storms (although most of the snow has melted), but we did get some sledding in for Gizmo's Christmas Party! The temperatures have bottomed out and it is COLD! The horses are extra shaggy in their winter coats and they have been gobbling down the extra hay and corn we are feeding them.

We're super thankful for the sunshine this morning and the horses are too. They always migrate to the sunny areas in their pastures first thing in the mornings. At least if it's cold, the sun makes it more bearable. 

We wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It's been a strange year, but we are thankful that we were able to have day camp and our off season programs at camp. Thank you all for your support and we look forward to the new year!


Merry Christmas from Batman!

Gizmo's Christmas Party

 We had lots of fun at Gizmo's Christmas Party! We had taken sledding off the schedule for the day, but it turned out that we got to go after all. Thanks to everyone for braving the snowy roads to make the trip out to camp!

One of the campers told their group leader, "This was the best Hoofbeat day ever!!". From what we saw, everyone seemed to have a great time. Here are some pictures from the day.
