Well it’s finally here!!  Summer!!

The Cranberry Acres will be hosting its first summer camp the week of June 23 – June 27.  The week will end with a school show on June 28th from 9am – 4pm.  Western riders will be first in the morning with horsemanship, reining and gymkhana events.  Hunt seat and Jumper riders will show their skills in the afternoon.  The program is posted in the lounge as well as entry forms.  The class listing is slightly different, Keyhole instead of polebending, No cross country this time, added jumper classes and I will put in a dressage class if there is enough interest.

We will put up a table for anyone interested in selling any TACK at the show.  Remember to bring plenty to drink and a picnic lunch, a lawn chair, sun screen and bug spray.  Sign in with the show secretary when you arrive.

Camp will begin at 8:30 Monday morning, wear light colored clothes and bring your water bottle.   The first camp is filling quickly, we still have room in our other camps.  July hosts 2 jumping camps, August Mixed Western and Hunt seat – Come have fun with our horses……..
