Meriel (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) eSwatini Chubeka Trails | I had two lovely horses. African Ace was experienced, fast (I won the race!!!) and very sure-footed. Manola a big rangy WB x was lovely, polite and also very sure footed despite it being his first time in the mountains.
The riding was varied, fabulous scenery and the hills were challenging, especially the scrambles, so a little adrenaline produced, which is always good. We did plenty of canters and our two guides looked after us superbly.
While not full of big game there were lots of antelope and a great encounter with a Baboon, lots of crocodiles (Aghh), cows and amazing birds. A lovely chilled enjoyable 6 days.
