Alta Hills Farm Summer Horse Camp

McKinley and her cousin Denali participated in a four day horse camp near our house. Each day they got to choose a horse or pony to ride, brushed and tacked the pony and had a lesson. Each day the girls would talk about riding and how much they loved the horses. We hope to be able to take lessons there soon.

McKinley especially enjoyed Penny. She was small and sweet and had a little personality. Apparently she doesn't like other horses, so you had to keep her away from all the other horses during the riding time.

Patch was another favorite of the girls. Patch was a little bigger and a little more bumpy, but sweet and gentle at the same time.



The girls had a fantastic time and brought back a lot of memories for their mothers. I was about McKinley's age when I started my lifelong love of riding horses. The smell of the barn, the beautiful horses, and the kind of people we met there made me remember good times. I'm so glad my daughter can participate in things like this as well.
