Sept/October '07 Where they really necessary???!!? Children are our hearts and amusement, just ask any parent. Parents always try to raise their children right by instilling good manners, give them a good education, food on the table and clean body and clothes. In the quest to achieve these goals, there are times when all parents may as well laugh, throw your hands up and say “I tried” cause what else can you do? One of the things we strive for at CHT is a family oriented event and in the fall of 2007 we had a group of children 8 to 12 years old who rode their horses for miles and hours, on the trails and around camp, in the arena and even more after all that. It made me tired just watching them but the giggling and yelling at each other made me laugh just watching them have a great time. They even rode the dog when he got tired. Well mid afternoon on Saturday one of the little girls came out of the shower, hair dripping wet and arms full of wadded up dirty clothes with a huge smile on her face. I stopped and asked her if she was good and clean? She replied “Yes’mam, I sure am”. So I asked why so early in the day? She said “oh my Daddy made me take bath”. Well what are you going to do now? (I should have seen this answer coming) so she replies in a very matter of fact tone “I’m going to ride my horse”. I figure she’s wondering were the showers really necessary?
