Thacher is definitely telling me it is Spring. Warmer weather with an average of 70 F, there are orange blossoms blooming everywhere and bees flying around them (with the help of our new bee hive at Carp.). Our pool is starting to fill up with people during the weekends, and more people are just simply outside, basking more »

Gymkhana!!
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 »
Riding!
This weekend, I went back home and pulled my riding boots from freshman year out of the very back of my closet. They were still pretty dirty, with the spurs buckled on and definitely felt more snug than I remembered. For the first time in three years, I am going to ride again! As spring more »
Riders Test!
The Riders Test. It’s the main thing freshmen try to pass during the winter trimester. The Riders Test is basically a test to see if you can ride by yourself, or with your friends.

Power Tools!
What better way to welcome the new year then to bring out the power tools to build the musical set? On Sunday the crew for the play built a four-foot wooden platform for the actors to dance on. It took all afternoon, and we had fun every minute. It was a great end to our more »
Horses, Poems, and Horse Poems

Although we only had two and a half weeks from the end of Thanksgiving break and the Holiday break, the schedule never fails to keep us on more »
Reunited
This past week, the administration announced a surprise holiday! Nostalgic for the experiences of freshmen year, having just watched the freshmen parent weekend demonstrations a few of my friends and I went for a long trail ride on the horses we rode our freshmen year. As the trail brought us higher into the mountains I more »
Whoa, Parents Weekend Already?
When I first came to Thacher, I thought it would take forever for Parents Weekend to come. Now, I can’t believe a week has passed since that amazing weekend: performances, displays, speeches, and so much more! As a freshman, I had to prepare for my horse routine with Little Twist. We worked so hard these more »
My Little Pony (sort of)
At some point in her life, a little girl imagines her perfect pony. Small or big, black or white (or pink if she was like me), long mane or short, everyone had a vision. This spring I got mine. His name was JJ, and he was beautiful. On the smaller side, black-brown, regal and sweet more »
