Gymkahna Day! This is a day when the kids get to "paint" (literally) their horses and then there are games played in the corral. We did not end up with any rainbow horses or pink horses...rather tame outcome all things considered.
The group is broken into a couple of teams and there was come competition to see how well you controlled your horse after a week of riding - making him walk instead of run, some barrel-weave obstacles, etc. Great time. It was also a good time for me to take a break from the saddle pains (READ: Sores) I had - by now I am quite sure I could do a full split with a gymnastics team. There were no sores, really, but I was certainly sore - like riding a bike after years away. That seat just unnaturally touches you in ways and places that make you uncomfortable....not exactly dinner table talk type of uncomfortable either.
The last game of the Gymkahna games was a scavenger hunt on horseback. into the woods to locate different colored bandanas - a capture the flag type game. Whatever team located their 10 colored bandanas in the branches first, won.
