Growing up, I was always involved with all things horses. Now times have come full circle and it is now my nieces and nephews are competing. This year I was lucky enough to drop by the Pony Camp and watch the kids giggle as they bounced over jumps, weave in and out in the bending races and kick their ponies along so much so you would think they would fly.
Sometimes at cringe at the speed and places these kids put themselves in and can't imagine what it wouldve been like for my own parents! I love the comradery and sportsmanship that comes with the territory of owning and loving and competing with horses. Theyre so much more, than 'just a horse'.
