Below is letter from an eager young girl that as been anxiously waiting to be old enough to attend Youth Camp. She requested to ride Jessi, our beloved lesson horse.

Dear Marcia,

I would like to go to your clinic. I have been riding Jeff’s horse Mystery. I can walk and trot. I know that I have to know how to canter. I am planning to know how to canter by going to my other riding lessens that my Grandma and Grandpa gave me for Christmas. I know how to use the Emergency Brake. I am wondering if I can ride Jesie? How could I apply to ride Jesie? How much would it cost to ride Jesie? I would like to ride Jesie because…

• She is more experienced.
• I think it would be safer and I think I would learn faster.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Alexia VandeKamp, Age 7
