Yesterday, we had a Junior troop up from Pacific Beach to earn their “Horse Fan” badge. The girls need to complete 6 of the 10 activities listed in the badgebook, so it makes for a really long, and fun day! We worked on the activities that needed to be done at the barn first. The workbook they receive from Kids Horsin’ Around has a program for completing all the necessary activities, however if time runs late, they can complete some of the activities later (such as “Horses through History” – they are given all materials to complete this activity at a future troop meeting.)
This troop also opted for a riding add-on. Actual horse back riding is not a requirement of the “Horse Fan” badge. (Girls wanting that aspect of horsemanship can earn the “Horse Rider” badge.)
