Thursday's Camp

Wednesday evening we were a little unsure if we'd be here on Thursday or not! But thankfully mother nature cooperated with us and we were able to hold camp today!

We were running a little late and had to take a few breaks first thing this morning due to some rain showers but we were still up and running!!

The campers got to play another game of I Spy, work on their trotting some more, and of course practice for their horse show tomorrow!

In arts and crafts campers got to decorate their pillow cases, make lava lamps (these are really cool!!) and finish putting their "Ocean in a Jar" together. 

However, even as fun as riding and arts and crafts are, I think the highlight of their day was horse education! They got to paint a Rocky! They were able to learn about the horses body parts by putting their hand print with paint on areas of his body, identifying what part they were painting! I think Rocky enjoyed the attention as much as the campers enjoyed painting him! 

For entertainment Waugh's Motorcycles came out and gave rides in the side car and also Mike Simmons and PJ gave a Natural Horsemanship Demonstration! The campers loved both!!

We'd also like to thank Stephanie Satchell from CBS 19 for coming out and doing a piece on TACO. You can see the video along with the article at the following link: http://www.newsplex.com/home/headlines/Orange-Co-Camp-Using-Horses-to-Help-Kids-with-Special-Needs-217951521.html?device=phone

Don't forget our horse show tomorrow from 8:45 to 10:30 in addition to our carnival and pizza party afterwards!! We are looking forward to being in the outdoor ring for the show tomorrow! We hope that all of our parents, supporters, and volunteers can attend the horse show so the campers can show off what they have learned this week!
