Here is Heather lunging Blue. Blue is an Appy Quarter Horse. He is very unpredictable and a lot of people are afraid of him. He is a stag, so he has major temperament issues, which requires him to be lunged and he requires a lot of work and attention. He is in charge of all the horses. Only staff members are allowed to ride him, because he takes advantage of inexperienced riders. He has MAJOR issues. I personally do not like him.
This is Jumbo. Jumbo is a GIGANTIC Lippizaner, and he is the largest horse at camp. When he was introduced to the herd, he got the crap beat out of him- you can see some battle marks on his body in the picture. One of his injuries included a very deep puncture wound from a horse, most likely Blue. It got infected over the weekend, it was my duty to flush it would really good, and clean it out real well. Boy, did the puss reek. It eventually healed and closed up. Only Chris & Heather are allowed to ride Jumbo. He is so tall, I can not reach his head to put the halter on, and I can practically look under his stomach with out bending down.
Here is a picture of Jumbo getting his hooves trimmed and shoed by Chad. Chad is so cool! I would help him out all of the time getting equipment, steadying/controlling the horses, getting horses, etc. He would always buy me a soda for my hard work.
