Wow! What a great Horse Camp we had this year! Thank you to all of my helpers and the very generous horse owners for letting me use your sweet horses for camp!
The highlights of Horse Camp 2010 include:
…horse finger painting…
…dress up day…
…farrier demonstration and painting our very own horse shoes…
…the Thursday night sleepover and the “wedding” between Rannita and Farmer Jo…
…and just plain horsin’ around!

Myself on Step ‘N Fetch It
This weekend I was able to compete in the Hunter Derby at the Summer in Skaneateles Horse Show! I placed 6th out of 14 entries. The Hunter Derby was the feature event on Saturday’s schedule. It took place out on the grass hunt field and had a beautiful course of jumps set up. The event had two rounds; those who scored high enough on their first round were called back for a shortened second round. The second round course had very tricky turns, a trot jump, and a gallop jump. Everyone had a great time and I can not wait to ride in more of these events!
