Halloween mid term pony camp Cork

Halloween mid term pony camp

We had so much fun at of our Halloween Pony Camp. Our riders started the day with our 'monster mash mucking out', which I think was harder than they all thought it would be. Then we continued with some 'ghostly grooming' to get the ponies nice and clean for our 'bubble, bubble, toil and trouble pony games'. The games were so much fun, with 4 teams competing against each other. There was plenty of cantering, weaving, jumping on and off and running. The game called 'walk the plank' turned out to be one of the most difficult but we did get a winner. After lunch we had other games on foot and the most fun here had to be 'pop the balloon'. Seventeen kids running around and sitting on balloons to make them pop was like gun fire in the indoor.

On our second day we had great fun Bobbin for apples in one of our games. The ponies really loved it too. It was like having a break in the middle of work for them. I think 'Holly' & 'Toni' loved it the most. 'Holly' would have eaten all the apples if she could. We even got 'Brownie' to try one and he doesn't really like apples. Well done to everyone. It was so much fun. In the evening on the second day we made scarecrows, this for sure was one of the best parts of the day. The kids did such a fab job, considering they never made them before. I was very impressed. Well done to all, especially Aileen O Keeffe, Jerry Horgan, Thea Howard, Eloise Ross and Vivienne O Callaghan for building the best scarecrow.

What a fantastic last day we all had, with super exciting games being played. The first one was the stopping game where when the music stopped each rider had to get their pony to stop over a pole. Serious competition this proved to be. Then we played musical chairs, which was so much fun watching them all jump off to sit on the blocks. Well done to all my fab riders and of course the fantastic singers. The games wouldn't have gone ahead on our last day without the professional choir.

It was a most enjoyable camp and thanks to all the students who attended it and were so much fun through the week. Well done to all of you.
