Macy spent last week at Horsemanship Camp. There are no words to describe her joy, the fun that she had, and her blissful exhaustion at the end of each day. It was a well-done camp where they spent a full day learning all about horses, how to take care of & saddle them, & how to ride them.
Her horse was named Smokey and it was love at first sight. She still loved Smokey, even after the horse bucked her off on the first day & tried to kick her. I always knew the true test of Macy's horse affection would come the day she was bucked off. It's inevitable for it to happen...but as the saying goes, you have to get right back on and that's what Macy did. Always before in life, if something hurts her, she abandons ship...case in point-riding a bike. It took her a while to learn to ride because she fell...and it hurt...and she was ready to quit. But, horses are in her blood & have withstood the test.
On the last day, the riders put on a little program to show off all that they had learned. Macy grinned from ear to ear. She can't wait to go back next year!

Great photos to show one happy young lady! She's just a natural, even the freckles on her nose look happy! Glad she got to do this!
If I had the money that girl would have a horse and riding barn to go with it. I love those pictures of Macy, she is so in her place.
