May 17th morning start from Grosselfingen and I am joined by Melanie and her part Friesan mare rather surprisingly called Alvin (on the left) and Bea from Seissen with her Halflinger mare Sienna.
Today we rode across the Neckar river and into the Black Forest.
Gosh it looks black......
Coming down to Obendorf
It is like Piccadilly Circus up here....
We were royally hosted at Fluorn Winzeln by Monica and Patrick, shown on right below - grassy fields for the horses and a barbecue for us. I had a couple of interviews for newspaper and radio.
Bea's dog cools off in a river....
Following narrow and steep paths through the woods down to Schiltach....
Schiltach is a very picturesque Black Forest town in the Kinzig valley.......
Picnic in Schiltach by the Kinzig. A group of neighbouring picnicers fed us all their surplus food and we were replete!
The trails there look great. And the Haflinger's rider looks a more normal size - maybe you are not shrinking!
