Ben has been thoroughly enjoying equestrian camp. I've been hearing about how well he gets along with his horse and how nice all of the kids and teachers are. The kids (about 15) are broken into small groups, each with their own counselor. This grouping allows kids at different skill levels to work on more advanced (or easy) riding. Ben was "moved up." Very exciting. So, I showed up to camp early yesterday (hours are 9am - 4pm). When I arrived he was cleaning out his horse's stall - which is apparently what he does at the end of each day. Cleaning the stall involves shoveling all of the horse poo into a wheelbarrow and dumping it into a huge pile of poo (which is picked up a couple of times per week). I asked him if this was a very gross job (it's hot, stinky, and lots of flies around). No...he said he loved cleaning the stall.
So, that's the way it is. I cannot get him to clean the kitchen without lip, but he LOVES shoveling his horses poo. Great.
