Horseback Riding in Mauritius

Since returning home I’ve had a chance to download pictures off the big camera and run them through Lightroom for some cleanup and enhancement.   Here is the first of several galleries – we took Kai and Nora down the coast to a stables and they went on an hour long ride on the beach.   Crystal and I stayed behind so most of these pictures were taken by photographer who accompanied them.

Charity Horse Rides

One of Kai’s preschool teachers organized pony rides for charity a few weeks back.  Her family has been doing charity work in Ethiopia/Eritrea for generations.  The offered pony rides, sold cookies in horse shapes (we had to leave with two of those, as you can imagine) and sold hand woven baskets from Ethiopia to raise money. 

Nora, having not seen too many horses in her life, exclaimed excitedly “CAM–OO” (translation: camel) when we got there.  It took a fair bit of practice, but by the end she seems to have understood that she actually rode a horse.
