Horse Riding Week 2 Day 3

 Today was another incredible day at horse riding camp, where I'm diving deeper into the world of riding as a coming seventh grader and advanced rider. The day kicked off with intense focus on refining our skills in the arena.

We started with a rigorous warm-up session. Trotting and cantering around the arena felt smoother than ever. My horse, Remmi, responded promptly to my cues, showing our bond is growing stronger each day. Coach Taylor praised my improved posture and control, which really pumped me up for the day ahead.

The highlight of today was definitely the jumping session. We set up a series of fences at varying heights, and I got to challenge myself with higher jumps than before. The adrenaline rush when Remmi and I cleared each hurdle perfectly was absolutely exhilarating. It's moments like these that make all the hard work and early mornings worth it.

During our break, we focused on horse care and grooming. I made sure Remmi was brushed and comfortable, rewarding her with some well-deserved treats. It's amazing how much trust and companionship you can build with your horse through simple acts like grooming.

In the afternoon, we were eating a lovely delightful lunch. Well I had one apple and a juice. After that we did something fun! The Coach took off the parts of the bridle and we failed it was so hard. The other team won. After that we made pool noodle ponies!

As the day came to a close and we led our horses back to their stalls, I couldn't help but reflect on how much I've learned and grown in just three days. Horse riding isn't just a hobby; it's a passion that requires dedication, patience, and a deep connection with these magnificent animals. I can't wait to see what challenges and triumphs tomorrow will bring.

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...
