This weekend has been so exciting for students on the Thacher campus! The Ojai Tennis Tournament was going on throughout Ojai and on campus, but other activities went on as well. This Friday night, our director of concerts and lectures, Mrs. Halsey, brought in Pentatonix to perform on our stage. It was so amazing to more »
Spirit week!

Spirit week is here, yay! Spirit week is probably one of the most fun times at Thacher, because while on the one hand we are in the midst of one of the longest stretches at Thacher, due to being between spring break and summer vacation, it’s also jam-packed with fun events and amazing activities.

Coming Together

Gymkhana has made me see my horse, and the riding program in a totally new way. I am nowhere near being a good gymkhana rider, but the season has shown me how many skills I have learned this year. I finished the rescue race. It lended a sense of accomplishment to me. This season is more »
Gymkhana!!
by Lucy '13 on 16. Apr, 2012 in Lucy '13
Yesterday my friend and I packed up our cameras and water bottles and jogged out to the Gymkhana field to capture gymkhana in action. As we arrived we waved hi to our friends, freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, who were boarded upon sweating and excited horses. Country music blared from the speakers at the far more »
April Foolin’
by Katherine '12 on 16. Apr, 2012 in Katherine '12
Just a few days ago, the year’s greatest holiday came and went – April Fools Day. Throughout my time at Thacher, I’d never really understood why people liked April Fools so much. Yes, the pranks were clever, but I never quite got the hype. This year, I finally came to understand. Directly after check-in, the more »
The Holiday
by Emiliano '13 on 23. Feb, 2012 in Emiliano '13
For Thacher students, the time between winter and spring break can seem to go on forever, while some view this as a horrible affair, the majority of the school views this as the perfect opportunity to enjoy the time we have at Thacher. However, the lull can become a heavy burden for any student to more »
IEA
by Lucy '13 on 23. Feb, 2012 in Lucy '13
This past weekend, the Thacher Equestrian Team hosted their annual IEA show. While the show itself was only a day, we spent weeks preparing ourselves and the horses for the event. Although, we didn’t do as well as we hoped it was a great day. Everyone finds their niche at Thacher and I’ve found mine more »
A “slow” weekend.
by Emiliano '13 on 22. Jan, 2012 in Emiliano '13
By far one of my favorite things about Thacher would have to be the weekends, and while on the weekend schedule it might at first glance seem dull, a skilled Thacher student never has a dull weekend. Starting with things like sports games to work out sessions in the morning and early afternoon, followed by more »
Birthday Celebrations
by Melanie '13 on 22. Jan, 2012 in Melanie '13
Whenever I used to think of turning seventeen, I always imagined that I would feel so mature and much older. I can’t say that I have noticed much of a difference in that regard, but I do want to thank my friends for making it one of the best birthdays yet! First thing in the more »
And Beyond…
by Chris '12 on 22. Jan, 2012 in Chris '12
Just before we left for winter break I found out where I’ll be going to college. This sudden news brought an incredible onslaught of both joy sadness. I was ecstatic to be done with the almost year long college application process (a struggle you might be going through now) and the fact that I was more »
