Kamryn and "Jazz"
After posting those super cute pictures I have to announce that Kamryn has given up dancing. She gave it her best, it just really isn't her thing with the sparkles and hair and all that.
Today was her first day at her summer apprenticeship at a local horse boarding farm! She is going to be going everyday until the end of the week.
In just one week she will learn:
To catch, halter, groom and tack up the horses.
To clean the horse's stall, how different feeds work and general stable and horsemanship knowledge.
To ride safely and in control.
Each student will be able to control the horse through different maneuvers. Besides riding, they will learn to work the horses on the long line, care for the horse's legs and bathe them.
She is in HEAVEN! When she came home this afternoon she kept smelling her hands because they still smelled like the horse she took care of today. (gross!)
After the apprenticeship, she will be taking riding lessons about every other week. She is already begging for a horse of her own. I'm afraid of what we are getting ourselves into!
Here is a picture of when Kamryn got her first taste of being IN a rodeo. She won first place in the "mutton bustin" at the rodeo in Star Valley last summer. She likes to ride horses much better than sheep though.
