Horse Camp for Evan

We came back from vacation with our plates full. I had forgotten that Monday started horse camp for Evan, he is finally 8, and that's how old you have to be to join the camp. It is everyday Mon-Fri from 9-12. I did not take any pictures this week, because last year I spent tons of time trying to grab great shots from outside the ring, and then the instructor at the closing ceremony gave me many fantastic shots that she had taken all week. I ended up pitching mine and only using hers. Evan has been doing really well, although he is probably the quietest kid out there. He seems in his own world alot of the time, maybe it's because he was given the biggest, slow witted horse that they use in the program. His name is boss, and he is a whooper of a horse. I think they said he is a quarter horse for any horse enthusiasts out there. Evan has to really make this horse work, otherwise he would just take his time, and mosey everywhere. The instructor normally has to stir Boss up to get him to trot or loop, but the other day outta nowhere, Evan must have given the right signal, because Boss took off. Evan stayed on and said Whoa a couple of times, but it didn't seem to faze him too much. I asked him if he was scared and he said "why would I be scared".

In other news, I had planned to start school this week, but we are off to a slow start, so I guess next week is looking good to start the new curriculum. We already started spanish www.funclase.com
