Wednesday afternoon a group of us went sunset horseback riding on the beaches of Cape Town. Being the only guy to sign up for the trip, at first I was a little hesitant. After all was said and done, however, I was thankful I went because I got to experience some of the most impressive views I've ever seen.
Sixteen of us made the trip, but we were split up into three groups and sent to separate stables along the coast. The stable that my group used was called "The Dunes." After being briefed over what to expect, our horses were saddled up for us and we were ready to ride. Luckily for me I got the best horse of the pack, Exeter, a six time champion retired race horse!
Exeter was all he was talked up to be. It was very hard for me not to push him into a full gallop and I was tempted to do so many times. But as a group we all had to stay at the same pace, so we spent the majority of the time walking our horses slowly along the beach taking in the gorgeous waves and watching the sun slowly set before us. I got many great pictures to mark my trip...I'm so glad I didn't talk myself out of an afternoon I will always remember.
