Saddled & ready

Hacienda de Guachepelin, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

My first time on a horse in 20 years -I needed a big one!!!

We rode on these horses to the Rio Frio where we went whitewater tubing -there are certain things that a fat middle-aged man should not do! My tube sat somewhat lower in the water than everybody elses and every rock, root & snag I crossed claimed a piece of my rear. By the time we were finished I had lost my footwear, my life-jacket (torn off me by the force of a cataract -I thought I was going to drown) and most of the skin on my right buttock! -I'm scarred for life and still receiving counselling! :-)

Needless to say all images of this embarrassing debacle have been destroyed!
