my time at horse camp.

my time at horse camp was amazing. I had horse camp at YMCA camp Kaitoke. There were six horses and their names were Ice, Ziggy, Sharvo, Miranda, Bear and molly. Ice is a grey Appaloosa horse, we couldn't ride the gelding because he had a sore back. Ziggy is a chestnut appaloosa horse aswell, but we also couldn't ride him because he was too young. Sharvo is a quarter horse and is chestnut. I was lucky enough to ride Sharvo and it was awesome I got to trot him in a dressage test kind of thing and it was really fun. Miranda is a 17 hand brown mare and is very gentle and beautiful. Bear is a dun pony and has a sore hoof infection so we only rode him once and we had lots of fun hanging fun around him and just hanging out with all the horses. Molly is a black pony that is very naughty. At horse camp, of course I rode horses. On monday we learned to catch horses and we had a little trek around the lake. I already learned how to ride and catch a horse and everything that we were told to do but it was already fun no matter what we did. the only pony I rode was Sharvo and he was the coolest horse ever. On tuesday we did a bit of leading and I can't remember what else we did but it was fun. On wednesday we didn't ride because we of the weather but we just had time to spend with the horses. Then before dinner we had a lesson on archery. On thursday we had a dressage test kind of thing and I rode Sharvo. I got to trot almost the whole thing and the others only got to trot on the lead at the end because I am more experienced than them. The people that I rode with were Jess, Jess, Maya, Bryce, Emma, Claire, Ruby, Rebecca, Sasha and Vanessa. Vanessa was out instructor and I really enjoyed having her as our instructor.
