More Snow - More Horses!
Thursday, April 5th, 2007

Hello everyone,

This week’s update comes to you from Anne, the camp’s Riding Director. For about a week it felt like spring here. The temps nearly reached into the 70s, flowers started to bloom and I even had plans to ride outside! Instead it is now 25 degrees, it is snowing so hard I can barely see the barn and the snow is piling up yet again. Oh well- at least I have some new horses to tell you about!

A lot of time has gone into searching out these new horses to compliment the wonderful group of school horses that we already have so let me give you a brief introduction. Our newest addition is an absolutely beautiful paint pony that rides and drives. We decided that she needs a fancy, princess name so we’ve decided on “Paris”.

In addition my family has loaned the camp two horses for the summer and they have arrived: a chestnut pony mare named Daisy and a bay Appendix gelding named Dillon. Daisy will be an amazing pony for our walk trot riders and those learning to canter while Dillon will love jumping around the hunt course with our more advanced riders. Our final new addition is a beautiful bay Thoroughbred/Percheron mare named Brandy.

We have purchased others who haven’t arrived at the camp yet including a 7 year old Quarter Horse/Belgian cross, two 10 year old Thoroughbred mares, a beautiful Arab mare who can jump the moon with style, and a 17 year old Thoroughbred gelding schoolmaster who will be wonderful for all level riders. When spring really does settle if for good I will work on getting some more pictures up for everyone.
