New post for the day

I was posting a lovely blog on myspace about my camp today and it was quite clever, slightly funny, a bit of irony thrown in...I saw something I wanted to change and I made the terrible mistake of hitting the back button and POOF it's all gone. Sigh...now it's almost 10 pm and my tired self is winding down for bed. I hate it when that happens.

Well, we had riding camp today and it was fun. I had two of the kids from last w/e, and 2 new kids. One is a brand new rider, full of spunk and a great student. She is definitely above average and I found out she's a child actress. She was so embarrassed when her mom told me that. I guess she spends time just wanting to be a normal kid. I think Maggie will like her. She seems to be a good little rider.

The other older girl was in camp all week and she was a bit shy to start with, but I used her as a helper a lot and she really rose to the occasion. She helped me with the two little kids...the little boy was, well, a boy, but I think I was better prepared to work with him this week. I think perhaps he's just a little ADD and he's really smart. He asks tons of questions but isn't always very good about thinking through his actions. I found him crouched by Joe Bear studying his back legs and trying to get the caked on mud off of him. I made him sit for awhile after that and he was in "time out" He said he didn't like time out...I told him I didn't like sitting in the ER with my riding students. He didn't have much to say after that. hehehe.
