Sara Corzilius, 11, and Kaity Corzilius, 15, had never ridden a horse before last week.
This week they are described as intermediate riders, capable of riding a horse bareback through a pond.
The sisters made this progress at two of the Bit of Hope Horse Ranch summer camps held at the home of Lisa and Don Hamsher, near Englewood Farm Acres. They and about 15 other girls are enjoying riding horses, decorating horses, learning about horse health care and horsing around in the camps.
The Bit of Hope Horse Ranch is a non-profit enterprise where owner Suzanne Park nurses neglected and abused horses back to health, and nurtures the children who love them in the process.
