Horse happiness

Horses seem to be making a rather regular appearance at the moment, and I love it! Mandla has been making huge progress with his training to eventually pull the ossewa, the ossewa is well on its way to being roadworthy and is absolutely stunning, and the drivers are making good progress with their training too; not as easy as you think I assure you! Michiel has done some maintenance on a track through the fynbos to a beautiful spot overlooking the sea, and this is the track that we have been using with Mandla, who is now pulling a big tyre that we take turns riding in!

And we’re spreading the love! Kel and the kids came to do some horse riding, and to see what Mandla does. It was a wonderful morning but Jesse and Kate were most excited about going for a ride! Each had a turn to help groom a grubby Weeky who had just rolled in the sand, and ride around the paddock. It was a really wonderful morning, with Jesse making plans for his mom to leave him there next time so he can hang out with the horses and Aunty Bettina!
