Mini Camp 2021 by Ethan

I was the only boy at Mini Camp this year, but it meant I made lots of new friends and had loads of fun. It was the first camp with my new pony, Goldie, and we got to try lots of new things together as she is only young like me.

We got split into different groups and each did different things, the first day we did cross country and show jumping in the morning, and then we got to go swimming in the outdoor pool, which I loved. After lunch, it was really interesting as we had a vet talk and got to see inside a horses leg!

The second day was really windy and the jumps in our gridwork lesson kept blowing down, but it was still great fun. Even though it had also turned really cold, we all still went swimming after our final lesson, which was dressage, it was so windy by then we could dry my swim shorts from the trailer!

After lunch we had prize giving, where we all dressed up smart. I was very happy as I won the most improved rider award. Camp was really fun, its hard to say what I liked best as I loved the riding, swimming, tuck shop, and my instructor, Tori.. Oh and my pony of course!
