Rhode Island, or as our imaginary friend, Haystack Harry likes to call it, "Rodeo Island," is the tiniest state in America. But don't be fooled by its size, kids. Rhode Island is like a pocket-sized package bursting with mighty fun! There’s a salty sea breeze, sandy beaches, and a whole lot of horses. Yes, you heard that right, horses! And not just your regular, trot around the field kind of horses. We're talking about superstar horses that can prance, dance, leap, and gallop with such grace, you'd swear they were born in a ballet. Kids in Rhode Island absolutely adore these four-legged friends. You see, horseback riding is not just an activity here, it's a passion, a tradition, a way of life! It's like brushing your teeth, but a gazillion times more fun and windy. And it's a sight to behold, kids from all over the state, trotting through meadows, racing along beaches, leaping over hurdles with a joy that is simply infectious! Haystack Harry, our ever delightful, half-human, half-hay bale, and full-time horse enthusiast, is the official mascot of 'Rodeo Island'. He's a comical character, always tripping over his own straw feet, losing his hat in the wind, and getting chased by hungry horses. But he's also the heart and soul of the horseback riding community. He cheers the loudest at horse shows, comforts the nervous new riders, and even sometimes tries to join the horses, which of course, ends up with him rolling down a hill, leaving a trail of hay and laughter behind. So, kids, saddle up and get ready for a hilarious horseback adventure on 'Rodeo Island' with Haystack Harry.
