obstacle course Horse Summer Camp Craft and Game Ideas

Learn how to budget: How much is the horse?Every summer, we have the camper's parents sign a permit to conduct a field trip at a stable venue and a local harness store.Out of courtesy, we always call our horse head shop to let them know we're here --They welcome us with open arms!The manager was very friendly and always showed us around and answered endless questions from the children.In order to start our project, we will pair the campers and give them a budget.
The budget will include enough money to buy all the necessities of having a horseIncluding the harness, first.Aid items, brushes, etc.Of course, you should set guidelines for what items children should buy.If some children are still young, we will arrange a camper for them.
This camper can be better.
we sometimes exclude the saddle and the horse rope.Back on the farm, we will discuss what each pair will be and why.Some children will buy old harness, so there is more money to buy more horse care items.
It's fun and fun to see what the kids will come up.We will judge the project and pick the pair that we think will get the best deal and be able to properly budget the projects they really need.This project can also be completed without a horse head shop!Our tack store closed last year and we were forced to use the catalog, but the kids had a great time too!Horse painting-Make it the body part of the education and paint horse!No horse painting.

No refills!Usually, before we let the children draw horses freely, we will check the body parts first.We will have a child draw a blue star in the rear left corner of the horse, or have the camper draw a paint on the paper scraps of the horse!I suggest washing the horses right after the event, as the longer the paint stays, the harder it will be to get off!To be safe, don't use paint on the horses you plan to show the next day or the next!The paint does fall off completely, but it sometimes takes a day or two to get it all off.: I'm too lazy to paint all day (and it's cheap!) Ran to the store to buy some so I made a completely safe chemicalFree Paint in flour!I put the flour in a few small bowls for the kids to make and mix the colors they want to use with food dyes (please warn beforehand, food dye stains, so please supervise!).
Enough water turns the flour into a paste.Not liquid, but paste.This flour paint is very thick on the coat of the horse, so it's hard to use the brush, but when I need it, it will work in a pinch!: Kool-Aid is another way to draw horses, but unless they are gray or light, it doesn't work for the horse's coat.The kool-Aid will color the mane (or light color) of Sorrell horse or maroon horse, as well as any white mark of any horse.
To make kool-Auxiliary paint with a small amount of water-A little at a time-Until it forms paste.Can also be used on people's hair!* Please note that kool-The aid is mostly sugar and it does attract flies in the summer!For the daily grooming routine that all campers have to complete before riding their designated horse, we love to host the grooming contest!One day our winner will be "the cleanest horse" where campers and horses together win the most perfect victory belly etc.There will be another day when we will have the "most creative" or "craziest" activities, cleaning is the main factor, but we have campers use extra item stickers and more!To make your own horse nail polish, please use nonThe paint is toxic and washable.
