Horse Fan

On Saturday, March 26, the troop visited Riverside Stables for some horsing around fun. The girls learned a lot about horses and completed several activites for the Girl Scout Horse Fan badge. Each gril was able to ride a horse, groom and feed a horse, assist in putting on a saddle and cleaning the horse's hoof. A lot of exclamations was heard about horse riding lessons and horse camp. In all a great time was had by all.
