Return to First Friday Briefing


Participants in the Summer Riding Camp put their mounts through their paces

Nine children of Georgia National Guardsmen got up close and personal with horses and their care, thanks to a cooperative effort of Andy Robb, owner of Jasper, Georgia’s North Star Equestrian Center and the Georgia National Guard Family Readiness Office. The second summer Horseback Riding Camp for family members of Georgia National Guardsmen held June 8 – 14, 2003 gave the nine participants a view from the saddle, as well as the experience of grooming, and cleaning stalls.

More than 24 citizens of Jasper and Talking Rock volunteered their time and talents to provide a place to stay, meals, fishing pond and grill, instruction to the students, and transportation to and from the activities for the youths selected to attend.
