Horse Camp

Gracie just wrapped up a 5-day horse camp at Pine Trails Ranch in Davis, CA.  Initially, she wouldn't let on that she was having a good time but after the second day she couldn't stop smiling.  Her horse's name was Manly and she learned to clean hooves, put on saddles, pads, halter and bridal, correctly lead and mount, ride bareback and English saddle, trot, post, and bathe her horse.  Every afternoon they'd watch a horse-movie while eating lunch and in-between activities had a workbook to complete on horse anatomy, colors/patterns, horse tack, and nutrition.  She's already talking about taking the next level up...
