Easter Egg Hunt April 11, 2009
Another glorious day for fun and adventure. 39 children with parents and friends in tow arrived at Horizon for the 2nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Open House.
They were greeted by some of our Horizon horses before making their way to registration. At just after 1 pm they took off in a frantic hurry to collect as many eggs as they could. If one round of egg hunting wasn't enough, we turned them loose in a different area for a second round. Needless to say, everyone received some chocolate

After the tabulations of eggs collected we arranged for some egg and spoon wheel barrel races in which the parents really got into the spirit of racing around a small course pushing their child. Along with the races, there was an egg toss for the really little ones, another egg toss for the older group and then we closed the day with pony rides.

These of course were the next highlight after eating chocolate! Our two Horizon horses Splash and Jitters carried pretty much all the children and some parents patiently one at a time.

Many door prizes were handed out including some lovely baskets full of goodies, some stuffed bunnies and Horizon shirts to 1 in each of our age categories. Pictures were taken with our surprise visitor…. Teddy, who gave lots of hugs and high fives to all the children.

The tabulation for the highest egg collectors is as follows:

For the Cowpokes in which there were 10 participants, the winner was Mackenzie Byman with 20 eggs.

In the Little Britches category with 11 participants, the winner was Shelby Weltz with 24 eggs.

Over to the Buckaroos with 16 participants we have our winner, Connor McLaughlin with 33 eggs.

And to round them out in the Hoofbeats division with 2 participants, Kara McBride with 10 eggs.

Thanks so much to everyone who participated, we hope you enjoyed yourselves and will return again for more fun next year!
