'TO THE LIGHT HOUSE...'








On horseback again. Rach and Julie were bitten by the bug so we all opted to do a 4 hour trail ride to 'the lighthouse'.
The ride was more challenging than previous ones, and we had to jump creeks, and climb steep paths.







In one of the river beds our guide pointed out this fossil which he guessed was some sort of prehistoric horse.




We made it to the light house.


On the way back, our horses knew they were headed home, so we broke into a comfortable lope. This was fine, until the lope became a run and our guide got left behind. Not fully understanding the psychology of a trail horse, i tried to stop mine...which it did not like one bit. It reared up, causing me to have to do a 'rodeo roll' (hahaha). and jump off...anyway, i was unscathed and didnt even lose my hat!! It felt a bit like a 'rite of passage', but i dont wish to repeat the experience!!
