Today was mini-camp day at Spence’s Farm. Kids enjoying a day off from school participated in a variety of activities, including horsemanship. Mini-camps are fun for us because many of the campers have little to no horse experience, and we get to start from the very beginning. We firmly believe that teaching helps us become better horsewomen, as we get to revisit lessons learned long ago. During mini-camp we can start at the beginning, focusing on the relationship between horse and human, and be reminded of the power in it.
Today, the campers helped with some barn chores (stall cleaning and sweeping), then learned how to tack up their horses. The mounted part of the session was a blast! The kids did an obstacle course and some even learned to trot!
