After a simple but satisfying breakfast we quickly packed and readied ourselves for the tough walk to the Equestrian Centre. It certainly had its long up hills! All the tiredness was quickly forgotten as soon as the horses were spied, and soon the lessons began. Teams were formed and riding helmets collected. Everyone got to groom a horse and they got to help out in saddle the horses. Great fun was had by everyone - teachers included! Lunch was delivered and everyone had their fill. Soon the walk back was required but not one complaint was sounded - well done Grade 6's!
