Getting Ready for Camp!

With camp just around the corner, our staff had a wonderful week gearing up for the summer ahead! This week our staff came out for staff training, and began making sure everything is prepared for the big week ahead. 

We've also spent some quality time with our horses by grooming, riding, and getting them ready for the summer! The horses are all doing well, and are getting excited to meet everyone!

It's hard to believe that camp will soon be in full swing, but we are all super excited for next Wednesday!

March Camp Update!

 Hi Everyone!!

Well if you follow us on Facebook, you may have seen that we have a new foal here at camp! Our mare Daisy had a little filly about a week and a half ago. We named the baby Merrylegs (throwback to a pony mare we had many years ago at Hoofbeat!). She is super cute and has blue eyes and a big blaze. She is really energetic and loves to run around her mother, the stall, or the indoor arena when we let her out. 

We got a few pictures (a hard task when the subject is not willing to stand still even for a second....). We'll try to get some more to post at some point!

The rest of the horses are starting to shed, so it's looking like spring! As always, we look forward to the warmer weather and sunshine! And the horses look forward to grazing their pastures once the grass gets growing.

We are gearing up for spring camps, a UW retreat, Wilderness First Responder Clinics, and camp opening in June. We know that spring will fly by and camp will be up and running before we know it! That's all for now!

December Blog Update

 

Hello Everyone!

Just a quick camp update – we are staying busy caring for the horses, getting the 2025 Day Camp registration ready, and gearing up for a busy month of January.

The horses are all super shaggy this time of year with their winter coats (especially our two mini ponies Luna and Junebug. For some reason they get extra fluffy in the winter!). 

We let all of the horses out to pasture now and then to stretch their legs. Even though there isn’t grass to eat, they still enjoy getting out to roam around. We got four new horses this fall and three are geldings and one is a mare. The geldings are Maverick (a paint), Rio (a bay), and Zorro (also bay). 

The mare is Aspen and she’s also bay. (We'll try to get some pictures of her to post!) We have Aspen paired up with Mocha right now so she has a buddy and the geldings are all together with Yogi.

Day camp registration will open soon for 2025 – we are looking forward to another great summer!

January is going to be a busy month for us as we have a Wilderness First Responder Course and two UW groups. We house and feed the them, so between that and keeping the horses taken care of, we won’t be bored!

February and March are typically slower months here for us, but then by April we will start to run Saturday programs again. We have a couple of Girl Scout Horse Lover’s Days scheduled and will be getting our Saturday camps set up soon too.

Well, that’s all for now. We hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving and from our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas!
