Drakensburg, oh Drakensburg..

A small part of the gorgeous grounds we stayed on..

breathtaking Drakensburg area...




The hike:

No joke!--better sign!

myself, Tiago & Samuel...

Feeling the power of the mountain..
Feeling accomplished after our climb we "pause to pose" at the summit (well, near summit anyway)..


How to successfully become a horsewhisperer in 4 easy steps:

Step 1: Approach horse slowly--whispering!

Step 2: Stroke horse gently while whispering (even if only to yourself quietly--you MUST whisper).

Step 3: After having successfully befriended said whisperee, give it some grass to solidify the friendship (whispering at this point is optional..)


Step 4: If man/horse bond doesn't prove permanant, simply switch horses & start the "whisper" process from scratch.

Happy Whispering!

Haha, great post. I love it! I should've tried that whispering process while I was there too. Or maybe I should've switched horses sooner. :D -Meg
