The horses are here! Well... at least half the herd has arrived. Touchdown was exactly 10:43am on that beautiful Wednesday morning of April 17th. The staff present were super amped and even the horses were excited as they gently rocked their trailer back and forth when the truck approached the barn. Maria and Silver were head over heels at the arrival of their playmates! Pinky… well, let’s just say the verdict is still out on that relationship. But who knows; perhaps this will be the year that Pinky and the horses become fast friends! These furry equines could not wait to get to their main preseason job –walking the pastures and eating up the overgrown grass. Yes, we have living lawnmowers!

Inside this edition o f Terrapin Times, we will profile each horse to help you get reacquainted with our furry friends. If you have ever camped at Pisgah, then you should be very familiar with Kookaburra, aka Kook! Not only has she been camp staff for the past six years, Kook has been attending Camp Pisgah’s horse programs since she was FIVE YEARS OLD!!! Not to give away her age, but this will be Kook’s 18th year at Camp Pisgah!! Amazing. Kook attended Asbury University and graduated with a degree in Equine Management and Biology. Having been raised in the North Carolina mountains, Kook is a lover of animals and the great outdoors.

Seriously, that’s a 12- mile hike, with six of the miles going UP! Kook is also very athletic, having participated in gymnastics for 12 years. Sadly, Kook will be moving to Kentucky in June to pursue her career in equine management. (sniffle, sniffle) Her presence will be greatly missed, and we wish her all the success she can withstand. You can still catch Kook at camp, if yo ur troop camps at Pisgah for a weekend this Spring, and/ or if you’re attending GSU, Art -o-Rama or Pony Daze. So stop by, reminisce and bid farewell to this diehard Pisgahnite!
