A few questions about horse camp...?

Question

Well... one, it says that I can't bring cash. No more than $5 with me to camp. It says to use the charge provided by me in the tack shop. What the heck does that mean??

Also, should I bring a whole bag of grain or measure it out, because I'm only going for a week. It says, "bring... bags of grain labeled for each day...' Again, what's that supposed to mean? And it says no low cut shirts, does that include tank tops? :(

And, lastly, it says "Please keep snack items to a minimum. The Camp Store will have snacks available for you." If I can't bring more than $5, how am I supposed to buy snacks at the store??

Answer 1

Your parents will probably be asked to put an amount of money on your account, which is the "charge". This way you have a set amount that you are allowed to spend. This is also how you will buy snacks.



As for the grain, are you bringing your own horse? That's the only reason I can think of that you'd need to bring grain. If so, you should probably measure the grain into gallon plastic bags, and label one for Monday A.M., Monday P.M., etc. Don't forget supplements!



Low cut shirts... just use your common sense. If you grandmother would be ok with you wearing it, the camp probably will be too. I think tank tops would be fine, but if it shows cleavage or too much back or anything, the camp might have an issue with it and ask you to change. Silly, I know, but rules are rules.

Answer 2

Probably means that they will lend you money and then you repay them at the end of the week... I bet they don't want to deal with kids losing money, getting it wet and ruining it, etc so they just do that.



What you should do is put each meal (for your horse) in a large ziploc bag, then write the horse's name on it and what meal it is (breakfast or dinner if they are different). That makes it easier for them to feed and makes sure your horse is getting the right food.



Yeah, low-cut tops usually includes tank tops, at least for me. They are very bad for riding in, I hate riding in them and won't unless it's super hot. Your chest bounces, you get sunburn everywhere, and hay/shavings like to migrate into your bra which is uncomfortable and embarrassing to fix.



You probably buy snacks with the charge... they just bill you for whatever you eat at the end of the week. That one's a weird rule though, what if someone has special dietary needs like diabetes?

Answer 3

nope it shouldnt want footwear. i've a mini that's only a puppy and that i unfastened bounce, take for walks, play with, and so forth and he has high-quality toes! certainly not had footwear. the vet and farrier must come simply as constant for the mini because it could a horse! its gonna want its toes trimmed frequently among 6-eight weeks considering youre no longer rather doing something difficult with it (like difficult paintings). the one factor ive gotta ask/say is, is that this gonna be your handiest equine? its gonna want a buddy if that is so! horses and ponies get lonely, so when you cant manage to pay for a different mini or horse for him to be pals with, simply purchase a few goats so it could have whatever to hold with! and subsequent, im no longer definite how a lot grass is in australia or if he'll also be on grass but when he's then watch out considering the fact that ponies, notably minis founder with ease from the grass! my pony has foundered earlier than and after they founder as soon as they're extra inclined to it and its severe affliction for them and they are able to die from it !! soooo yeah ! well success along with your mini :) they're lots of amusing :) !
