Horse Trekking in Rubicon Valley

Today we went horse trekking in the Rubicon Valley and Kowhai Bush

RIMG0046My horse was called Lulu and Mark's Nugget!! We were a bit nervous at first but then we soon got used to it and enjoyed the ride plus the views!

The farm is owned by Chris and his wife. Johnny his son accompanied us along with Chris on the ride to watch out for us..

Also on the farm they had a dog, cat, alpacas, chucks and Wilbur the pig who if you call runs over to see you.

We stopped for photo stop and morning tea with magnificent views of the  Waimakariri river and gorge!!

Hi just having a look at you on the horses at Lizzie and Glen's.
It's still raining a lot, but we are just going out, and I think it may have stopped!

Lots of love Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
