First time Horseback riding

The trip in the afternoon in Boquete includes Horseback riding and a bath in the Hot Springs.
I was quite nervous, because like most of my friends know – i am not a big fan of animals, especially horses. Anyway, my friends convinced me to try this out.

Again, Explora Ya and its guide were very friendly and helpful. We drove with the car to a ranch, where all the horses were ready. Smaller ones, white, brown ones – every horse was somehow a unique masterpiece. However, they were all shitting ^^ according to my friends with a bit more experience with animals that these horses are relaxed once they have made their business.

Each of us got a horse and there was not much of an introduction. We got started… And my horse appaerently understood my spanish. We rode through the forest, up and down! Sometimes my horse started galopping which was quite fun. Philippe got s lazy horse, which just wanted to eat and not walk. With the horsewhip it got a bit better. We had so much fun – i really didnt think it would be so interesting.

Afterwards we went to the Hotsprings. We were not really in mood, and it was too hot anyway. So we just relaxed a bit on the riverside and waited until the others finished their bathing.

It was a very nice afternoon. Thanks again to Israel, our wonderful guide. 😉
