Wednesday

It was picture day at Roux Camp!
We invited Joni James from Sweet Zinnia's Photography from Farmington to take some portraits of the students and the horses. She is a wonderful photographer with a talent for capturing children and families.

Our topics today covered introducing the 7 Games from Pat Parelli. We don't study just the Parelli methods here at Roux Camp, but we believe in playing with our horses to engage conversation between horse and human. Students in our program have a better understanding of what to ask of the horses when we put in place the 7 games and make horsemanship fun!
Roux Camp Rocks!
