This week was the start of our first summer session. Monday set some records for heat. Tuesday, it was potentially dark and stormy. No dark, no storm, though, since we did have a few students who really don't like being in the pole barn when it is raining!
The beginning of the summer session is always so much fun! It is fun to see how the returning students have grown (some like weeds, I tell ya!) and matured. It is most amazing to see how they remember all the rules of riding and the games and the horses.....especially the horses!
Unfortunately, we lost some real fan favorite horses this past year. So there is always some explaining to do, especially our Miss Candi. She had many many fans and was such a big, loveable, gentle soul that her presence is definitely missed. Another student talked about how they rode JT last year and "JT was huge!" JT was huge...in heart!
But we have new horses and new students and it is all a fresh start for the students, horses and volunteers. And everyone had a great time and it will be a great session.
