As my ‘passing first-year’ present, my awesome sis brought me horse riding. It was a public holiday and we were off to the outskirts of Buenos Aires to a horse riding school! An uncontained sense of excitement swept me off my feet as I thought about galloping on the horses.
The weather was lovely. The sun had a warm glow that accentuated the existing extravagant beauty. I rode the lovely Isabelle and explored different terrains. I learnt how to walk, trot and canter on my horse. Midway, there was exhaustion and frustration but slowly I regained my posture and focus. I rode Isabella with more control and confidence.
I ended the journey with a sense of achievement. I had learnt a lot in 3 hours and I savoured the moment of satisfaction as I looked at the beautiful companion of my journey. Her black and white coat was warm and comforting, her hair, long and free. She was mild and sweet. I felt a sense of awe as I admired her. God is great and his creation is more marvellous than we can imagine. A fantastic and unforgettable experience. Caballos a la Par!
Horse riding on my bucket list? Tick!
