Mini-Adventure 2 Recap: Horse Riding

Saturday, 14 February 2009

Extreme relaxation is the only word for today's mini adventure! I hesitate to even call it an adventure because there was no adrenalin rush! Leaving from Springcreek farm, not far from Rosebud, we hired some horses and toured through the Vineyards and Orchards in the area... A slow paced meander through the fruit trees was interspersed with trots and canters in the back streets but overall it was intensely relaxing. We also picked up some more ideas for the garden and were inspired by the strength and resilience of the olives, figs and cherries in an area so obviously affected by the recent heat wave.

Ganesh's horse, aptly named Shorty, was pretty feisty - and always hungry! While my horse, Ellie, was a little stubborn at times and appeared to be playing hard to get with another horse, Copper (who was never far behind). After about 3 hours on horseback we decided to give the horses a break and headed back to Melbourne via a lovely Greek Restaurant amidst all the wineries.

A highly recommended mini adventure!
