So we will start with some writing we did about horses.

We looked at how authors wrote transactional texts (non fiction writing), then all by ourselves we wrote our own horse reports.

Horses get angry when their ears go back. Their eyes when they are blinkered can’t see to the sides. The farmer uses a tractor to bring things to decorate the horses.

Tell the horse you are coming before you brush them. Tell them you are coming so that they don’t get a fright.

Skyla Rata Smith

Don’t go by the horse's back or the horse might buck you. The horses name is Ghost, his friend was Poppy. When you ride horses put the blanket and the saddle on.

Dakotah Smith

Horses knock your head and if you give them a fright they will step on you and it will hurt and you might need a plaster and I hope you don’t get kicked by a horse. Be careful around the horse.

Georgia Tatham

Horses have a really good hearing and they have a really good smell and they have a really good eye sight.

Benjamin Lee

Horses have big hooves and foals have long legs too. Almost every six weeks you have to trim your horses toe nails.

Horses have very sharp hooves, you won’t want to sit by a horse because it will be too dangerous.

Foals have long legs also when a horse has a broken leg you have to shoot it. Horses need to have exercise.

Horses eyes can look in the front and to the sides too. Horses are scared of the noises in the grass too.

Horses have heaps of jobs to do too. They have heaps of jobs.

Erica Oliphant

Horses have many parts to their bodies.

Horses have very sharp hooves. You need to clip their hooves in six weeks. Sometimes you need to use hoof oil. Foals have long legs. They try and try until they get up. Some horses have feathers.

When horses’ eyes are big they are scared. If you scratch the horse it will scratch you.

You need to be careful in case the horse kicks you.

Exciting horse camp photos to come.
