We are in the last leg of our journey by arriving in Gorlev today. The wind was too strong for our sailing trip. The swells were up to 2 meters with huge white caps. So, we took a short walk to some local art studios then went home with our hosts. Bailey and I however got a special treat. Bailey’s host, Soren, called some friends who have Icelandic Horses to see if we could come ride (heste fart/travel by horse). She agreed and we left enthusiastically. Well, at least I was enthusiastic. Bailey was not so sure as she recounted the last time she rode and was bucked off a horse. She did just fine however and even mastered the turret (spelling?) which is what the Danes call the fast gait that these great little horses can smoothly cover ground. I was in Dansk heaven and could have stayed out there all day, but our 30 minute trek will have to do for now. I will be ready to ride my horses with my friend Chris when I get home! (Thanks for giving Bandit a kiss for me, Chris, and thank you honey-Stan- for taking care of the other two.)
A big thank you to Henriette Roved of Roved Horsemanship and Turredning for taking us out on their wonderful Icelandic Horses!
