Ride like the wind.....


Each summer at the Broken Bow Ranch, Sis. Bingham does horse camp. Last year Taylor and Hunter attended and LOVED it. They really enjoyed getting to know the different horses and learning how to ride. They both took to it easily and quickly. Of course they wanted to go back again this year and so since Jenni and I had arraigned to take pictures at horse camp this summer it was convenient for them to go. The Bingham boys were gone to Scout camp the first week, Jake went out a few days to help. Actually, I think he went mostly to flirt with the girls and because he knew Sis. Bingham would let him ride. I especially love that when Jake gets unruly she just turns him upside down! We LOVE Sis. Bingham!! Taylor ended up helping out the next week because all the youth from church went to Nauvoo. She couldn't actually put the saddles on, but she would hose down the arena and get the saddles,blankets and bridles out. It was a lot of fun being out there and it's ALWAYS an adventure! Especially finding the cow bones all over and watching the crazy ranch dogs.


Getting the arena watered down so there isn't so much dust.


Helping White Thing back out to the pasture


White Thing can be kind of persnickety at times, but Taylor doesn't get ruffled and can really handle her quite well.


Kelsey is new this year and Taylor really liked lunging on her. Kelsey would skip and hop and Taylor thought that was fun.


Hunter leading Cricket in.


Riding White Thing. Hunter wasn't too ruffled by her either.


Hunter on Cricket.


I thought this picture was funny because Hunter's feet don't reach the stir-ups.


One of the MANY cow bones that the crazy ranch dogs carry around.
