One of the things I really wanted to take on since being off is horseback riding. I’ve started practising over the last few months and while in the US, one of my dreams was to horseback ride in Monument Valley. With our guide Herb, horses Spirit, Crazy Eye and Yellow Jacket, Charlotte and I went on an early morning ride. It was so magical. Charlotte had never ridden before and she was really scared but she overcame her fear and in the end found herself having a lot of fun, which made me very happy!

I’m so in love with that place.

Herb also showed us how to ride bareback like the Navajos which we proudly did!

The giftshop was selling Kachinas but they’re not in fact Navajo items. They are a tradition of the Hopi tribe…At sunset we headed to a traditional Navajo hogan to spend the night in the middle of the valley…
