Horsemanship Camp, Part Two
This week is Jake’s turn to show off the skills and knowledge that he acquired at Texas Charm School and Cowboy College. It is located in Field Store, Texas and operated by Cody Johansson. Jake fell in love with her pony named Boudreaux. He said, “It feels great to be as tall as a horse.”
If you read the articles from this blog, then you already probably feel that you know Jake. He is a cowboy through and through. Jake is eight years old now and going into the 3rd grade. He is happiest when he is outside doing something with his hands. Horses have been a great outlet for him. He has to learn to be relatively calm and quiet around the barn, which is slightly difficult for boys his age. He also has to be focused.
I hope you enjoy watching Jake with Boudreaux. I think that you will see how much Jake enjoys being with this pony.

Good job, Jake! It looks like you really had a great experience at Texas Charm School. I’m really proud of how much you have learned about horsemanship in the last year.
