Horse Camp (Kelsey and Morgan)

A few weeks ago all of my nieces and nephews were staying at Grandma and Papa's house. The first week, Morgan and Kelsey attended Horse Camp. They learned how to handle, ride, groom and various other horse things. At the end of the week they took part in a horse show, to show off their skills. Here is Kelsey Bells walking, then trotting with her horse.
Morgan's turn was next.
Kelsey Coyne
Then they got to show of their handling skills while riding the horse. They had to direct the horse around cones and over a log, finally they had to show off how to control their bounce when the horse runs (I can't think of the proper term)
Morgan O'Brien
The girls had to ride a different horse each day of camp, and then they got to pick which one they wanted to ride during the show. Both Kelsey and Morgan choose to ride "Biscuit"
Here's Cici, the Megan sized horse! Megan liked him from a far, but wasn't so sure about him up close. But even now she still says "Pet Cici horse camp" So I guess she wasn't too traumatized. But going down the big horse stables was totally out of the question. Megan wanted NO part in doing that.
Megan just waiting for more horsies. (yes I know this is spelled wrong)
The proud little horse campers! Kelsey Bells and Morgan, you both did such a great job and looked like you had a ton of fun doing it!

Beautiful horses. Horseback riding is lots of fun. Great job girls. Takes lots of patience to teach a horse to listen to it's rider.
