As part of a project to decorate horses with colorful words and messages defining friendship, Riley Strittmatter, 10, presses her painted hands into a quarter horse named Joey at Camp Bella Terra in Murrysville on Wednesday, June 30, 2021. In the background is J.T. Esposito, 12. The theme of this weekÕs camp is ÒWhat makes a good friend?Ó said stable co-founder Amber Power. In addition to decorating the horses, campers learned how to care for horses, played outdoor games and completed art projects on the stableÕs 26-acre farm. Both Strittmatter and Esposito are from Murrysville. (Steve Mellon/Post-Gazette)
