Had an amazing day working hard all afternoon. Luis got me trotting on a horse which was a very uncomfortable experience to start with but did get a little better. Finished the day at about 11:30 so tired. Luis invited me to his house where his lovely mother had cooked us some dinner I was so thankful.

When I was first looking to book this trip I had some reservations and worries about where I was going and what I was trying to do. How wrong was I, it truly is an amazing experience working with Luis and the horses from dawn till dusk.

Arrival

Well I have thoroughly enjoyed my first day in Seville more precisely Frontera la Moron. Luis is brilliant, a real pleasure to learn from. Luis started off by explaining to me horsemanship skills, this involved showing me how to walk the horse, prepare the horse ready to be ridden, brushing the horse, brushing the horses mane and tail, checking the horses shoes and putting on the bridle and saddle.

So even though I am not planning to have horse riding as one of my 6 registered skills, I have got the oppurtunity to go to Seville and train for a week to get some experience of riding and being around horses. Although I am excitied I think this is going to be a very hard and physically demanding week. Hopefully I will get some pictures and be able to write some of my blog during the week.

So at 06:25 I will be taking a flight from Gatwick and landing in Seville just after 10:00 and then the fun and games will begin.
