Saldanha

My very first endurance race was in Saldanha and what an experience. The people, the horse and then Saldanha nature reserve was so beautiful.

I was nerves and afraid of the unexpected. But when they said the riders of 80km may go I was ready for action. The beginning was hard, all the horse where on their own little mission of getting in front. After the first corner I got control again and me and Angel Dust settling down. We connected again.

The first leg was 30km I can’t really remember anything; everything was so new and fast. First Vet check Angel dust pulse was 48. We (Leonora Pieters on Lookout; Anneke de Kock on Candy-man and me) had a rest for 40min. Leg 2 was amazing we were riding at a fast pace. I think we gallop at 17 per km. This was just too fast for the Novice ride. So the third leg we took it very slow. This is when I enjoyed the beauty of Saldanha’s nature.

I think Saldanha ride was the best so far.
