East Valley Ranch 4-Week

07/01/2015

Session 1 is finally here!! At East Valley Ranch we are so excited to see new and returning faces in the Four Week Program. The girls have had their Evaluation rides yesterday and their first riding lessons today on the amazing horses that they will be looking after for the next month! As well as meeting their new horses, the girls have been getting to know their fellow yurt mates through team building on our low ropes course. The four week also had the brand new opportunity to go boating down at the farm. Excitement was high as they had a canoeing extravaganza and searched for newts, minnows and other exciting pond life.

The next couple of days hold some more exciting opportunities that all the four week girls are looking forward to!
