Senior High Girls Camp

Karin was to be at the farm at 10:00am and there are no horses needing meds, today was a sleep in day. No trip to the farm until later which made Raven wait a couple of hours for his grain. He was not too happy.
Today's heat was intense. We hauled 6 horses out to the Herman Lake at Norris, IL for senior high girls camp and were so glad each ride ended in the water, not just to cool off the horses but also the riders. Rachel furnished her 2 horses and also came along to help. Rebekah lent us Larry, Karin drove Mike's old truck and the stock trailer and also invited Melinda to come help. Thank goodness for good help!

There were around 300 people there between campers, counselors, helpers and family. The tubing line was long but so refreshing when it was finally your turn.
This was a group of campers coming for the horseback riding. Beth had a good system of transportation using 2 mules going back and forth from the horse back riding to the water slide, and rope swing. The pontoon boat was another mode of transportation.
We had those horses busy for 3 and a half hours, they and Karin never had a rest. We loaded up the horses as soon as the buses left and were back to the farm by 5:00pm. Karin and Rachel were too tired to walk her horses back, Rachel brought over the golfcart and she and Karin rode that over to her house leading her 2 horses.I think this is the lazy way of moving horses. Really Karin's bottom was pretty sore riding bareback for that long afternoon.
