Horsing Around

This week I went to Horse Camp (http://www.ponyshare.com/). It was fun and exciting. I met lots of new friends.

This is me and my pony, Coco. I learned how to ride with the reins. Reins are how you move the pony to where you want him to go. When you want to go left, you pull the left side and when you want to go right, you pull the right side. You stop by pulling both sides at the same time and then let go. Then you lean forward, put one leg over and jump down.



Here I am feeding Coco. I am feeding him a carrot. You put out your hand and it has to be flat or he will think your fingers are carrots.



On the last day, we decorated our ponies. We put string, hair clips, stickers and spray paint on our pony. We also had races; we won three times and the other team won two.




I want to go again next year.
