Maggie at Camp

Last week, Maggie spent 6 days at YMCA Horsemanship Camp. She certainly surprised us a few weeks ago when she told us she wanted to do overnight camp instead of day camp. I think Mom and Dad were more worried than she was.

She spent 4 hours a day learning everything there is to know about horses, from feeding, to grooming, to equipment and of course, riding. The pictures below are from the last day, when we picked her up. We had a picnic, she told us all about her week, and she was able to demonstrate for us all that she had learned.

Here's Maggie describing camp in her own words...

Camp was AWESOME!!!!! My horses' name was Lightening and he was very stubborn. His name is Lightening because he was born during a lightening storm not because he is fast. My counselors names were Hannah and Amanda(she is from England). My instructors names were Maragret and Mary. My friend name is Samatha and in horse life we are sisters because our horses are brothers. My swim test went well but I had to try again to get to blue.

Did she have a good time? She's already told us that she's going again next year.
