Jane Gray's horse show
















Horse camp at Winterview Farm ended with a horse show.  Jane Gray showed her pony very well, and Daddy was very pleased.  After the show, Jane Gray received the Happy Horseman Award.  The award is voted on by the other campers and is given to the camper who had the best week at camp.  Jane Gray was also recognized for her horse costume.  On Wednesday, the girls dressed up their horses.  Jane Gray dressed Scarlet as Scarlet O'Hara - we made Scarlet a brown yarn wig and a hula hoop skirt draped with a red chiffon fabric.  Scarlet also wore a very Southern hat and faux pearl necklace.  Jane Gray's award was a picture of Scarlet in her costume.  After the awards ceremony, the campers competed in an egg race - the last one holding her egg won.  Jane Gray placed a close second.  The girls then broke off into two teams and had a carrot race - the girls rode to the other end of the ring, dismounted, and enticed the horses back to the starting line with a carrot.  Jane Gray's team won!  After the games, Susan let the girls ride some more in the ring.  Of course, Jane Gray was the last one to leave.  She had so much fun at horse camp!
