2nd Grade Field Trip to Penrod's Greenhouse and High Point Arena

First, we went to Penrod’s Greenhouse and learned all about the process a seed goes through to become a plant. We got to see all of the neat equipment they use to make planting easier and faster. We toured all of the greenhouses. Each student took home some rose moss. It likes full sun and low water.  Please wait to plant it outside until after May 10. Then we ate lunch and played at Jesse James Park.  It was quite windy! At High Point Arena the students learned all about how to groom horses. They used both a curry comb and body brush to groom their horses before riding.  Then they learned all about the tack and how it goes on a horse.  Each student got to do at least 3 single rides and one ride with a friend. After that, they gave the horses treats and we got to go see the rest of the horses in the pasture.  We finished with stick horse races and sack races.
