Horse Riding Week 2 Day 2

 Today was the second day of my second week of horse riding, and it was a fulfilling day packed with various activities centered around my passion for horses. The morning began early at the stables, where I eagerly greeted my horse and started with the familiar routine of grooming and preparing for the day ahead. It's always peaceful to start the day in the company of these magnificent animals, brushing them down and checking their hooves before tacking up.

After grooming, I had my riding lesson, which focused on advancing my skills. We started with groundwork exercises to establish rapport and warm up before mounting. My instructor guided me through refining my posture, balance, and the subtleties of communicating with my horse through leg and rein aids. We worked on transitions between gaits, fine-tuning our movements to achieve smoother and more controlled transitions.

Following the lesson, I participated in horse health and food. I learned about equine nutrition, the importance of regular health checks, and basic veterinary care. It was fascinating to understand more about the holistic care of horses beyond riding, gaining insights into their dietary needs and how to recognize signs of health issues.

After lunch, I joined in with my group and we were riding the fake barrel horse named winnie I think. And after that we were naming the parts of the bridle and the saddle my team won and we only had three people and the other people had four people so it was really cool winning.

As the day drew to a close, I spent some quiet time with my horse, grooming and bonding before heading home. Reflecting on the day, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction and connection with these amazing animals. Horse riding isn't just a hobby for me; it's a lifestyle that encompasses learning, bonding, and embracing the outdoors. I'm already looking forward to the next day at the stables, eager to continue my journey with these incredible creatures.

Horse riding Day 2

 Hi Everybody, this is what I did in horse riding camp. First off we groomed and tacked up the horse we rode "Vandy" and my partner went first riding. While they were riding we painted horse shoes to keep for ourselves. After that we went riding. After riding we untacked and had lunch. After lunch we played in the water which was really fun and wet. After that we were learning the parts of a saddle which was really boring. And after that we played a game called hello neighbor. After that we were petting horses. After we were learning about the different kinds of bit's. After that the vet came and was helping a horse. (It was so disgusting.). So while that was happening me and one of the counselors there were checking all of the water buckets to make sure they were clean and full. They were. So we went to the automatic water fillers and cleaned those instead. And that is what I did in horse riding camp!

Horse Riding Day 3

What I did today in horse riding camp. First I woke up at 6:30 am and I was very sleepy but I still woke up. I went downstairs and I made my lunch which was a Nutella sandwich, 3 packs of goldfish and watermelon which spilled everywhere! And I made my breakfast which was a Nutella bread and a banana. Then I went to go change my clothes and I got ready for the day doing my skincare and my hair. I put my hair into twisted braids which are very easy for me. And I just make sure everything is ready to go. And then we leave in time just in time before I am late. I put my things down in my cubbies and I walk around petting some of the horses. And then they call us to the front. We play a game of neighbor before we start riding. We start grooming and tacking up the horse that we rode. Her name was MJ the horse we rode. She was a really pretty horse. Anyways we go into the indoor area but then Mrs. Holly wanted to go to the outdoor arena because the sun wasn't shining a lot anymore. We did...
