Trip to Chile- Three cowgirls and two cowboys on a spectacular journey

We arrive at a traditional, humble ranch in the morning to go on a horse ride through the Andes with Cowboy Hector who is going to take us on an amazing route. He points up to this enormous mountain, touching the sky from I where I see it, and says 'thats where we're going to ride the horses' what??? He must be exaggerating, horses cant go up there. Or, better still, first time horse riders cant ride up to there... can they? Walnut and Almond trees on the ranch Cool boots Cowboy Hector.

I get my horse 'Shishabaya'. The horses are Chilean horses that have long hair and short legs.

We're off and Shishabaya is already lagging behind stopping at every possible bush in her reach to have a bite... I had to get the rebel horse. Cowboy Hector shouts back to me to take her by the reigns, not to let her take me... but she is very naughty!

As we trot towards the incredible, imposing Andes, Kirsty turns around and asks ' so where do we pick up the helmets?' errrrr

Going up ...

errrr its suddenly getting very steep and slightly scary on my stubborn, unpredictable, naughty Shishabaya ...

Me and Kirsty, what more can you ask for, the pefect place to sit and chat ...
