school for cowboys

When we asked Raivo (at age 5) if he was ready to go to school, he told us that he wanted to go to school only if it was a school that would teach him how to ride horses. The only time Raivo had been on a horse was when I was 3 months pregnant with him, riding up the trail along Chile's Cochamo Valley. He had been able to approach and touch the horses on Isla Navarino, but never mounted one. 

Thanks to Tomas Marusic, the kids' first riding lesson in Natales was bareback, on the horses living on his huerto.

Stepping back in time on the huerto with our Natales community - sailors, mountain guides, gauchos, organic farmers & new generation of monkey climbing hipsters in this developing mountain town of Puerto Natales.
