On Thursday at camp we went to Karamu Trail Trek and went horse trekking.  It was great fun.  It was the first time most of the children had been on a horse.  Forde thought that it was pretty scary when he first got on the horse.  Te Heruika decided to be brave and stop crying so that we could go on our horses. We learnt that you had to point your toes to the sky when you were on the horse.  We also learnt that you had to lean forward when you go up hills and lean backwards when you go down hills. We got told not to scream because the horse will get a fright and run away.  It was really scary when the horse went by the edge of the cliff. Justus and Sid thought that at the top of the steep hill it was dangerous because you might fall off and go down to the deep valley. We learnt to pull the reins to steer our horses away from the cliff's edge.  Sid's horse kept farting all the way up the hill and down the hill again.  Portia's horse keep trying to bite the other horses. Brody's horse was a little bit greedy and keep being a bully and pushing past the other horses.
