Almost Ceremonial

It is a tradition for the family on the last nite of the camp season to mount up and take the camp remuda over east to pasture. The horses seem to know that have capped off a summer of being equine friends to hundreds of kids from around the country. The family and staff of RBR are grateful to this fine string of saddle horses that have provided a good experience to our "camp Kids".

Simply stated, "We love and appreciate our horses".

***

From the Book of Job in the Bible....

“Do you give the horse its strength

or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?

Do you make it leap like a locust,

striking terror with its proud snorting?

It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,

and charges into the fray.

It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing;

it does not shy away from the sword.

The quiver rattles against its side,

along with the flashing spear and lance.

In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;

it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.

At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’

It catches the scent of battle from afar,

the shout of commanders and the battle cry.
