Camel Rides - Carolina Camel Rides

Even though Oscar and Sandy’s last trip in 2011 to Tractor Supply in Asheboro, NC started with a very rainy day, Saturday and Sunday brought back some “old” friends, as well as some new ones! They really enjoyed the love and attention of those moments in time! The ponies enjoyed the great family fun they were able to share with everyone!

What a great blessing we received to spend time with the students and staff at Rock Springs Academy, grades K4 - 6th, in Milner,Georgia! Miss Lee, the school director, really got close to Sandy and enjoyed “kissing the camel” for the students’ enjoyment! Thanks, Miss Lee for the love you showed us all. Meeting these new friends and being a part of the Hallelujah Night Event at Rock Springs Church will be a fond memory for Oscar, Sandy, and the whole crew for many years to come.

Niles took “center stage” for the Campbell University Camels at the 2011 Homecoming parade and events! He had fun with the “Camel Kissing” Professor and posing with the Homecoming Queen. Oscar did the riding event, so both camels were involved in the Homecoming activities! Maybe having the mascot there helped a little in the great victory!

Sandy joined the variety of “smaller” animals in the “Animal Encounter” this week at the Wilson County American Legion Fair. Oscar and the ponies stayed busy between doing rides, making new friends, and dodging the raindrops!

Hale, David, Sheik of Power, demonstrates his “Look mom, no hands!” policy.

Oscar, Sandy, the ponies, and even all the animals in Animal Encounter had a “wet and wonderful” weekend with the affectionate attendants and attendees of the Dinwiddie County Fair in Petersburg, Virginia. There was definitely a spark that developed between Oscar and some of his riders!

After hearing about the “Sheik of Power”, one young man even dressed the part to be “home schooled in the art of Camel Riding!”

Tractor Supply at Oak Ridge was Oscar and Sandy’s meeting place on June 24-25. They even saw some friends they had met before! They had a great time seeing again some of the friends they had just met at the Vacation Bible School events from earlier that week.

Oscar and Sandy had lots of new friends on Friday at Tractor Supply in Asheboro, NC. Look at the smiling faces!

Oscar, Sandy and the ponies met many new friends at Tractor Supply in Oak Ridge! Wow, it was hot, but remember if the camels lived in their natural environment, it would be much hotter than what we have here in NC. Our animals just love the attention people give them and of course, they love to have their pictures made!!

Oscar, Sandy and pony family members met some old and new friends at Tractor Supply in Asheboro this weekend. Some people drove a long way to get a chance to ride, but the rain was on its way, and we could not stay. We will be back next month!
