Adventure in the Mijas Mountain, Spain

#thehorsetribe

I and mom decided to take the horses and visit a good friend on the other side of the mountain! Wow, what an adventure! Yes, we are a bit crazy, but what an experience! We started early in the morning in the morning from our stables in Mijas, we crossed rivers and wild nature without paths. We had packed lunch that we had in the middle of the forest, where of course Shihab rolled with the saddlebag still on! haha! Avocados became guacamole mash in the bag! Finally, after 10 hours of riding and walking with the horses, we finally reached the village Coin on the other side of the mountain. We stayed over with our wonderful friend Angelina that had prepared for us a vegan turmeric stew! Horses got plenty of hay and rest overnight. The next day our bodies were aching, but we managed to get back somehow :). This was the longest ride so far in my life, and I discovered what it feels like to be truly connected as one to the horse’s movement with a mind quieter than in deep meditation. After 20 hours on (and beside) the horse, you truly feel like one. Thank you mom for being as crazy as I am and follow me on this real adventure! And thank you Angelina for being such an inspiring person and for hosting us.
