Hi Rudi,
Well you promised me a wonderful time and I certainly had one with you and the great bunch of girls on your fabulous Bandit 's trail.
Of the 35+ trails that I have made on horse-back, this trail is tops for the breath-taking scenery. Riders will surely leave behind the stresses and strains of their everyday lives and become at one with nature as they ride through this truly stunning area, absorbing the sights and sounds around them.
The horses are easy to handle and so sure footed, on the often demanding terrain, that I felt safer on Tronco's back than my own 2 feet.
The endurance-type saddles are really comfortable for both horse and rider, so, as long as riders sit correctly, they should have no aches or pains through-out the day. The mixed woodlands provided a wonderful canopy from the sun, making this trail comfortable even in the heat of the July sun, and the wild flowers were still in bloom----just perfect.
Rudi, you put a lot of effort into creating a fun atmosphere, so that we all really enjoy ourselves, whilst maintaining a responsible attention to both riders' and horses' safety and well-fare. I do n't know how you keep your ''sang- froid'' each week with all the problems we riders present you with, but all is resolved with another cool beer and cava by the end of each day.
I look forward to a 4th ride with Panorama-trails next year with another great group of like minded riders, and thank you and your lovely bunch of friendly ladies----not forgetting our pic-nic maestro, Buffalo------ for such a splendid week.
Best wishes to you and your team, from
Pat Harper
