2010 SUMMER CAMPS
NEW THIS YEAR
A NEW CABIN WITH A BATHROOM AND KITCHEN FOR THE GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boys ages 8-12 will be able to come to overnight camp and stay in the old girls cabin.
We will be competing in the Western Gymkana horse show at the Tri Valley this year instead of competing in the english hunter. This is alot of fun to watch and participate.
We will be going to the Schoharie County Fair Horse Show the first week of August.
Last year we added Zeus, Rose, Pluto, Diesel and Jolly Mon to the herd and began to use Sampson who just turned 3. This year we plan to add at least another 6 to 10 new horses.
We just received 2 new horses from Long Island and boy are they good looking. The first horse is a Belgian. He used to perform at a knight's castle dinner theater. His name is Emperor Charlemane. The other horse will be in our show camps hopefully. We have yet to name him. Stop up and see them anytime.
