Horse camp games for kids

What better way to reuse used horseshoes and grooming brushes by having campers paint them! After 50 years of running a horse farm, we have accumulated a large collection of brushes! As the brushes get over-used and bristles break, I put them to the side and wait for summer to come for the campers to paint them. Its better than just throwing them out and allows me to clean up the barn a bit at the same time!

I buy acrylic paint from a craft store in several colors and squirt a bit of each color in a few paper bowls for easy clean up and less waste. Used horseshoes are another great craft for the campers to make! Nails must be taken out of the horse shoes as they are dangerous and sharp! I briefly scrub the shoes in water to get some of the dirt off but no need to make them clean as they are just going to get painted!

The campers have fun guessing what horseshoe was on which horse and they usually paint the shoes with their horse's name on it. When dried, ribbons can also by tied on and through nail holes. Campers can bring home and hang their horseshoes - a memory that lasts a lifetime!

Give campers the confidence they need to handle their horses as well as challenging them with an in-hand obstacle course. Be sure to give clear and concise directions on how to correctly handle a horse on the ground such as:. Set up an obstacle course but before attempting to have the kids practice, show them first how each part is done. After you show them, you can have them work in stations before having them go one-by-one.

Make a very simple course for younger campers and you can make a more skilled course for the advanced campers! Love handpaint on the horseshoe. Would love to buy one. Can you hat be done?
