Personal Water Bottle - make it yours!
Please be sure and send along a distinct bottle that your child will be able to recognize as theirs, with their name on it! 
We push fluids to ensure that all campers drink the amount of water necessary throughout the week, as it does get very hot.

FUN DEMO/SHOW CLOTHING
- it doesn't have to be fancy, but there is a dress code - see notes below

1.  Riding Boots (cowboy boots, paddock boots, or an ankle height lace up street style boot with a small heel)
*call me if you don't know what to bring - try hitting the good will or clothing bank, we've found good cowboy boots there!

WE HAVE A GOOD SUPPLY OF WESTERN BOOTS HERE AT THE FARM IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANTHING SUITED.

2.  Western Shirt (VERY IMPORTANT - COLORFUL!! cotton button down long or short sleeved shirt, with collar - must have sleeves)
DON'T go to a western store and buy an $80 western shirt - any button down shirt will do AS LONG as it is long enough to TUCK IN.
Value Village is great for this - find something with a button down collar that is light cotton and comfortable on a hot day.

3.  Blue Jeans (no flare or bell bottom please)  The flare or bell bottom leg is not appropriate for western events.  It's not safe either, as the bell bottom gets caught in the stirrup.  Bring your regular camp jeans, but bring a nicer pair to show in.  Any color is allowed, so long as they are straight OR BOOT CUT leg to go over your western boots.   If you want to dress it up with a belt and buckle, feel free!
