Horse Camp off to galloping start

Today was the first day of the first session of Horse Camp at Bachman Academy. The campers, ages 9-14 this week, range in riding experience from beginners to intermediate riders.

Before the beginners even had time to be nervous, Mrs. Trotter had everyone booted, helmeted, mounted and off onto the trails. Along the way she went over the dos and don’ts of horse safety and by the time they stopped for a break, everyone looked as comfortable as cowboys in their saddles.

For the rest of the week, the campers will be practicing in the arena in the mornings and on the trails after their mid-morning break. This Friday at 9:00 a.m. in the arena, there will be an exhibition of all the skills they have learned this week.
