Horsemanship Week IV

Welcome Campers to Horsemanship! We are excited to have you today at homeland ranch. Today we will get more familiar with our horses and campers will learn the ins and outs of horsemanship and the indirect social skills that come with taking care of horses.

Taking care of horses is an essential part of riding so we begin our day by combing and petting our horses showing them some love before anything else! Just like horses we need self care to feel confident about heading out into the world.

Once the campers gave some love to the horses, they headed inside to learn the terminology for the bridles and equipment to saddle up the horses. Each horse has a different bridle and set up blankets, just like the horses we come in all different sizes and shapes!

Time to saddle up! Campers work together to saddle up the horses and we are off into the arena!

We ended off today with step stickers! Excited to see you tomorrow.
