Hailey has been helping out with Horse Camp from 9am-3pm, 4 days a week. She doesn't get paid, but does get a discount on lessons. She's learning so much and just loves to be down at the barn. Funny thing is, she doesn't know anyone and is meeting new people each week. Hailey always comes home after the long day happy and excited to tell me all the stories of what went on. Such as, a coyote showed up and the cats, chickens and dogs all freaked out. They had 3 day old guinea pigs visit the barn, rescued 3 bunnies while riding on the trails, had dog races with Ms Tiffany's dogs, learned how to give horses shots, rode on the tractor, learned to lasso and Hailey said she is the best at it! and the list goes on.
Here she is at camp teaching the campers how to saddle up

I brought one of Hailey's friends Madi to watch Hailey ride during her lesson.
Hailey takes a lesson just 1 day a week, 2 if she's lucky. She would do it everyday if she could. She just started to learn how to jump
Hailey in her element
It's pretty neat to see her with the ropes and reins and throwing them over her shoulder putting the saddles away. She does it all
