Hey guys, so sorry for being so late about this, but here is a little of what I did over spring break, so, the first weekend we just hung out, because it was a little chilly, then we went riding on Monday, we made an obstical course again :) then we hung out some more, then on Thursday, we went riding again, we didn't do any obstical courses, we just rode and had a good time, then on Saturday we had our barn day, we came in and signed our paperwork for the new year, then we all had a grooming contest, I helped some little kids, one of them was new to our barn, her name was Caroline :) Here is the picture of Basil the horse we groomed :)
After that we messed around in the arena, we did some neat exercises with centering, and did a little bible study, then we got 3 of the horses out Snickers, Cinnamon, and Basil. We did more with centering with Cinnamon and Basil, Basil was for the little kids cause she is smaller and the little saddle fits her best, and Cinnamon was for the older kids. Snickers got tacked up for vaulting and everybody got to take a turn on him and we got to practice on him. Some of the kids also practiced on the vaulting barrel too!
So the barn was upgraded, and thats why we didn't have lessons over the winter, but we start lessons up again on April 12th. Here are some more pictures from the barn, all that their used to be were 2 sets of cross ties (not any of the ones in the pictures, a small tack room, and 3 box stalls, but one used to be used for all the tack we had that didn't fit in the tack room. Now there is still a little bit left to do with windows and the two new box stalls, but now there is 7 new sets of cross ties, 2 new box stalls, a wash stall, a new tack room with heating and AC, and a lounge room with a bathroom and heating and AC, along with new lighting all throughout the barn! The windows really open up the whole space, the walls are open to the arena, and it makes the barn look a lot bigger than it really is! Here are some pictures!
