FLYING TO AFRICA TO RIDE HORSES ON SAFARI!!!

AD | Airup link : airup.link/Elphick-Safari-1
Welcome to the first part of my African adventure, thanks to Horizon Horseback. In this first instalment we fly out to Johannesburg, before making the three hour drive to get to the Horizon Horseback Lodge. We are introduced to the team, and then it’s time to meet the horses and get out on our first ride…

    When I did a similar trip with Ant's they said the horses are allowed to graze because it signals safety to the *animals* you are watching. (Also nice for the horses but not why they do it.) With these outfits the houses live out on the reserve, the animals get to know them and if the horses are relaxed and grazing the wildlife will relax as well.

    What is the breed south African Boerperd??

  • @tanyaoellermann

    @tanyaoellermann

    3 ай бұрын

    The history of the Boerperd is divided into two phases. A first phase took place between around 1652 and 1836, when the first horses arrived at the Cape - Barb-Arabian crosses imported from Java. Bred with Andalucian and Persian Arab horses, these animals formed the basis of a recognised breed known at the time as the Cape Horse.
