All of our girls participated
in all sorts of fun activities in addition to their
riding sessions, where they were able to try out
several disciplines of riding (such as Western,
Hunter Seat and Saddleseat) and practice what they
were learning.
Some of the equine educational
activities we had included going over parts of both
Western and English tack, parts of the horse, colors
and breeds of horses, discussions on safety and
grooming, plus we held a Horse Bowl where the kids
had to answer all sorts of horse related questions
and received points toward the Grand Prize.
They also had an opportunity to
fingerpaint a beautiful grey Arabian horse, plus they
participated in a fun-for-all version of Musical
Chairs during which they had an opportunity to stay
in the game by correctly naming various pieces of
tack and grooming equipment, a "stick horse
race" (with the adorable stick horses they made)
and an old fashiond scavenger hunt for horse-related
items. Then there were the swimming sessions and our
Friday night overnight campout with a hot dog and
marshmallow roast, followed by a big pancake
breakfast Saturday morning.
On the final full day the girls
made a scrapbook containing pictures of the wonderful
time they had all week, plus each child participating
got their very own Sunlit Farm Summer Camp 2006
commemortive t-shirt. In all, the week was fabulous!
