We had a nice long weekend (again!) Joe & I went camping at Meiringskloof in Fauriesburg. Joes Oom is the camp manager there. Its a really beautiful spot, very close to the border of Lesotho. It was very cold weather, we bought two bags of ice on Thursday, and it was still frozen on Monday!! All the horses you see is at the camp; Joes cousin Fritz Kerkhoff breeds the horses.
This is Fritz's stallion. He will be riding him in the Forysmith 3-day endurance ride in July. At the moment he is training him for about 6 hours a day!! Lots of hours in the saddle (what a life!).

Looking down at the Meiringskloof campsite. Very nearby is a really big cave in the mountain where all the Afrikans women used to hide during the war.

Admiring the view!
Joe swears he can hear when the horses are coming back from a ride (amazing!)
These horses were brought up to the mountains above the camp to build up muscle. Theres not a flat peice of ground in sight!!
This Blesbok was watching us very closely!
