En rytters bekjennelser / Confession of a rider

Jeg hadde tidenes ridetur i utlandet igår; midt i bushen ved Nilens bredd fant vi to briter og 20 kenyanske fullblodshester. Noen av oss mer klare for futt og fart enn andre, her var det rom for alle, og vi hadde to herlige timer på flotte hester gjennom bush, landsbyer, og langs Nilens bredder. En liten følelse av å være kolonial, men ellers helt supert. Merket dog at det er lenge siden kroppen har styrt et halvt tonn muskler i galopp :)

I had a great horsebackriding experience yesterday! In the middle of the bush by the Nile, we found a british couple, and 20 kenyan thoroghbreeds. Some of us ready for full spead ahead, others not, but they had room for every need, and we had two lovely hours on beautiful horses through bushes, villages and alongside the Nile. I got a feeling of being colonial, but otherwise it was great!!! But I must say today I really feel how long it has been since this body controlled 500 kg of galloping muscles :)


Nydelig landskap!

.... men, etter 15 år som rytter burde jeg vite at å ri i kortbukse gir deg heftige brannsår..

But after 15 years as a rider, I should know that riding in short pants gives you burns.....
