I've decided that trying to do a VV ride and babysit a bunch of riding tourists is a fast track to the nut house. Maybe when I get this tourism stuff down pat.

Second day of riding and we went out with our clients from yesterday and some new ones. Other than some wonderfully sticky mud at the end of the ride that the horses truly wanted to avoid, all went well. Avoiding mud next to deep, dark green canals…

I like the way that it lists my mileage without saying that they are just kilometres. LOL

Welcome To Friday

Nancy's path.kmzFriday is the first day of the weekend in Egypt so it's the first day of my heavy working days. My first set of clients today were a couple of high school girls who come to ride every weekend. Neither of them are the most courageous riders, although Nancy rides one of my more difficult horses, Dooby. We did an easy round along the… Continue

Had a sleep problem that necessitated nights in a sleep clinic to diagnose and then arrange treatment with my new best friend, an air pump that pushes air through my sinuses so that I don't partially wake about 90 times an hour. Good t… Continue

Madness all right

I haven't been riding much for the past three weeks between a combination of friends visiting and raging bronchitis. Hard to get into frolicking across the desert when you are hacking up your lungs. So when I thought about riding today I sort of had in mind one of my older steadier horses lik… Continue

Hi Maryanne

NO she's not an axe-murderer. She'llbe fine! Quite a rough and ready set-up but I'm sure she will enjoy it. Be ready for very high temps though, going into the very hot months around here.

Regards
Andrea
