Last Fall, Camp Victory hosted a homeschool horse riding and care event. These were difficult Michael days so Kurt took a day off from work and drove the kids 2 hours east for the event.
The children started the day learning to groom and saddle horses. Here Gregory and Gabrielle practice with saddles.
I thought it quite creative when the children learned to saddle a modified saw horse.
The also learned about brushing the horses.
Gregory took the job quite seriously.
Naturally the kids loved actually riding the horses.
Gabrielle had never been horseback riding before, except for pony rides at parties and events.
Gregory enjoyed his first real horseback riding as well.
Gregory REALLY wants a horse of his own and so this was a glory day for him.
After horseback riding, the children relaxed and enjoyed the rest of Camp Victory.
Gabrielle loved looking for tiny clam shells on the river bank.
And playing on the playground.
Both children had fun on the miniature golf course.
And Gregory learned to play tether ball.
The kids had an unbelievable time and we are all looking forward to future events at Camp Victory!

Thank you for the update! :o) I loved seeing the kids on their horses. The horse Gregory was on looks like my horse Cowboy that I had when I was about his age. What a neat program for them to do. I hope you will post some pictures of the items you made for Christmas too! hint! hint!
