This coming week, June 14-17 is the time of the year when Westmoreland County hosts their annual horse and pony camp. This camp offers many activities such as: riding your horse, making new friends, creating crafts to take home, and a variety of demonstrations. Riders from the Western half of the Pennsylvania come to Westmoreland Fair Grounds to join in the experience. When the campers arrive they soon find themsevles surrounded by the theme of the camp and the unkonwn people that will soon become a friend. This camp is not only known for the experience but, the food. Camp if known for the delicious food! This camp has the opportunity to teach a young rider the proper way to feed their horse, clean their horse's stall, work as a team, and handle their horse properly. When a returning camper enters the barn they understand what stable managment is though, the new campers have no idea. Stable managment is when the campers and counselors are graded on: how clean the stalls are, how clean the isle way is, are the horse's doors latched, is the campers tack clean, and several more. This may seem to be alot to do but, at the end of the week the group's total points are added up and they are given awards. Not only do the campers have the satisfaction of making it to the end of the week but, small prizes are given accordingly to the placing groups. This is Westmoreland Co. Multi County Horse Camp Coloring Your World so, where are you?
