This is Schatzie. He is a Thoroughbred, and an ex hunter/jumper. He is for the advanced riders- he was my ranch horse for a week. He is the 4th largest of the horses.
This is Schatzie's gorgeous girlfriend, Stormy. Stormy can no longer be ridden due to calcified muscles in her two rear legs. The condition will never get better, only worse, until she has to be put to sleep.
This next bit is kinda sad/upsetting, be warned.
One day when we were putting out noontime hay, we cut open one bale and proceeded to spread it out throughout the corral, only to discover a pancake flat raccoon in the middle of the bale.
END OF SAD BIT
I love horse camp so much, there is nothing else like it in the world. When I am there all of my pain, stress, and sadness from throughout the year gets erased and my mind is at ease. Then in the fall, they have work weekends, so I get to go up there on the weekends and be around the horses I love and get a nice break from the nasty school week. My life has changed completely since I first came to Camp Anokijig back in 2001. This summer I will be a staff member, which we be extra awesome...even though I got treated like staff this year....
I can’t get enough of it…….
