Horse Camp



The girls were able to attend Horse Camp in Nibley again this summer.  My childhood friend and neighbor, Amy, is always willing to take my girls and cousin Natalie on a new horse adventure each summer.  Five days of catching, grooming, saddling, riding, feeding and watering.  And how about a few crafts, picnic lunch and swimming in the canal thrown in at the end?  Doesn't that sound like most girls' dreams?



Even Izzy was able to get a few rides in.
 



Their favorite horses, Rusty, Rufus and Flash (Peppy isn't pictured) were loaded up for trail riding.



 The girls rode in the pasture and fields around Amy's farm.  This year they also learned how to herd and cut (remove one from the herd) cattle.


On the last day they loaded up the horses to take them on a trail ride up Green Canyon.  This is a first and the girls really enjoyed it... despite seeing a rattlesnake on the trail!


Thanks for the great memories each summer Amy!
