We had 2 people in our party who have had bad experiences with horses (jonwill who was kicked by a horse and my wife who was bitten by one) so this one turned out to be trickier than I think it was meant to be.

I think the horses must be used to Geocachers coming through but it was funny to see their different reactions. There were 2 at first, one just stood stared at us and didn't take his eye off us whilst the other one couldn't care less.

Then another horse, a brown one mosied on over to greet us, I patted him on the nose. Then as we made our way across and under the trees another couple of horses galloped over. I guess they wanted to see what was going on.

2 more horses met us under the trees and freaked the geowife out, but I think she was more panicked than they were, and we passed without incident.

Got to GZ and then dived on the nearest stump with one of the geokids, whilst everyone else was stood some distance away from us holding the cache and waving it at us from where they had already retrieved it.

Log is full, but we found some whitespace to sign.
