It looked like the boys had learned from yesterday as everyone was ready on time for our trip to Equitrek.
Picture
Picture
They prepared the ponies and then headed down to the corral for their first ride.
Picture
We were impressed with how easily they took to the ponies despite some initial uncertainties.
Picture
Picture
By the end of the morning all 12 boys felt brave enough to attempt the trot and described it as 'fantastic, amazing, bellissimo, fast and fun'.
Picture
Unfortunately by the end of the morning the boys' interest had waned somewhat and they were becoming rather restless and noisy.....
Picture
Picture
Luckily their manners had improved by lunch and we had a very delicious and very civilized meal at our favourite organic agriturismo: 'I Giardini di Ararat'.

Picture
The kids enjoyed looking at their surroundings after lunch.

On returning to the Hazelhut some boys baked biscuits for tomorrow, others learned to knit or went to the art room and others had a swim.
Picture
Picture
Picture
In the evening we ate home made pizza and watermelon and then the children made their final phone calls.
Picture
It's hard to believe this week has passed so soon.  The boys have grown so much, their friendships are stronger and they are so much more independent, but is it also possible that they are noisier too......?
