Lin with ChimbiToday Ronda! Tomorrow the Burghley Horse Trials! At the age of nearly 60 Lin has discovered a new pastime! For the past couple of weeks, she and her good friend Kathy have been horse riding together. Lin rides Kathy’s horse named ‘Chimbi’ and Kathy rides 'El Duque' one of the horses belonging to a charming German gentleman called Axel, who owns a wonderful property with stables on the outskirts of Ronda and where ‘Chimbi’ boards.
Well today, following an invitation from Axel, the three of them went for a ride that took them into Ronda town centre via the Barrio de San Francisco, which is the old part of Ronda and where the horses can be watered.

Kathy on El Duque leads Lin on Chimbi and Axel on Capricciosa over the Tajo They caused quite a stir with the day tripping sightseers when the three of them rode over The Tajo Gorge Bridge above the 100 metre ravine!

Axel - A true gentleman in every sense of the word!
Chimbi and El Duque enjoying a well deserved drink!!Ian’s mother, who we have affectionately named ‘Abuela’ is currently over from the UK for a couple of weeks, so the three of us met up with Lin, Kathy and Axel for coffee at the Almocabar Gate in the Moorish wall by the magnificent Iglesia de Espritu Santo
