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!

Molly and Ginger, Cindy and Rosey, Claire and Geronimo

On Saturday we enjoyed the Limestone Creek Hunt Club’s trail ride at Hobbit Hollow Stables in Skaneateles, NY.  Molly on her horse Ginger, Cindy and her pony Rosey, myself on Geronimo owned by Dr.Robert Kiltz, Chris on her pony Tango and Jeff on his horse Mason all enjoyed the beautiful trails and a lovely lunch afterwards.

On Saturday we participated in the Limestone Creek Hunt ride at Hobbit Hollow Stables in
Skaneateles, NY. I rode Chris’s pony, Cheers, Dr.Kiltz rode his horse, Geronimo, and
Cindy rode her pony, Rosey. We enjoyed perfect weather and a fun ride through the hills
overlooking Skaneateles Lake. When we returned from the ride we were treated to an
amazing gourmet lunch hosted by Hobbit Hollow.  What a lovely way to spend a Saturday;
horses, food, and friends!

Payton and Rosey win a blue in Leadline!

We have the results from the If Only Farm Horse Show on Sunday May, 3rd.  First, I would
like to congratulate our youngest rider, Payton, on her very first horse show! She rode
Rosey in the Leadline Class and won a blue ribbon! Wow!

Lynn rides Rayden in his first show!

Lynn rode Rayden this weekend and it was also his first horse show!  They were in the
Schooling Hunter division and both did an amazing job! They put in two excellent over
fence classes and were flawless in their under saddle class. Great job Lynn!

Nikki and Lucky win in the Children’s Hunter division!

Nikki showed Lucky in the Children’s Hunter division.  They looked beautiful and did a fabulous job and also won a blue ribbon! Congrats Nikki!

Heather and Rosey have a double clear round in the Puddle Jumpers!

Heather was on Rosey for the Puddle Jumper division and what an exciting time that was.
Heather went clear in her first round, made it to the jump off against some stiff
competition, went clear in the jump off, and came in third place! Awesome!

Pat and Suki tackle the Gambler’s Choice Jumper class and win it!

Pat showed Suki in the Schooling Jumper division, where the jumps are 3′-3′3″, for the
first time.  They had everyone on the edge of their seats in the big Gambler’s Choice
class and they won it! It was really an amazing class to watch. Wonderful job, Pat!

On Sunday we attended the last horse show in the Classic Series at Heritage Stables right here in Skaneateles, NY.  Lily rode Dr.Robert Kiltz’s horse, Geronimo, in Leadline and came away with 7th place!  Heather schooled Silent Heart but showed Ransom in Walk Trot and earned three 7th place ribbons!  Breanne also showed Ransom and got a 5th, 7th, and 8th in Maiden Walk Trot.  Nice show ladies!

Lily and Geronimo!

Team Affleck is pretty in pink! Chris and Shadow, Betsy and Chance, Claire and Geronimo, Lizz and Ransom, Jeff and Mason. 

On Saturday July 12th, “Team Affleck” attended a Limestone Creek Hunt ride hosted by Hobbit Hollow right here in Skaneateles.  Despite the heat,  we all enjoyed a wonderful ride with wonderful people.  Lizz joined us for the first time on her darling horse, Ransom.  Jeff took his sweet horse, Mason, on his maiden voyage with us as well.  This was also Betsy’s first LCH event!  After the ride, we were all treated to a lovely brunch.  Thanks so much to Hobbit Hollow for being such generous hosts!  We are really looking forward to more trail rides, hunter paces, and, of course, hunts, courtesy of LCH.
