#1140 - Horseback Riding at Wright Park for Sunday.

Good morning our Hive family! I hope this Sunday greets you with pure relaxation and peace. A day to slow down, maybe sleep in a bit later and really enjoy a hearty breakfast with your loved ones. May your home be filled with laughter and your table with delicious food. Wishing everyone a safe, happy and blessed Sunday❤️.

Now for our daily shots one bright late morning in Baguio City, the Summer Capital of the Philippines. As part of our itinerary, my family and I, along with several relatives stopped at the famous Wright Park horse riding area. The place was filled with the sounds of horses neighing and numbers of tourists. My son Joaquin and the other relatives had just finished their turn riding the horses and were all happy. Now, it was finally time for my wife and me to take our turn.

We walked toward the designated area where the horses were swapped and riden. The horses looked strong and calm. After a quick chat with the handlers, we were each assigned a horse. They helped my wife mount hers before I climbed onto mine. Being up on the saddle felt great. To ensure everything went smoothly, the horse guide walked alongside each of us, making sure the horses stayed in place and relaxed as they walked us in circle.

As we began our ride, it was a slow pace that allowed us to really enjoy the experience. The guides were very professional, chatting with us occasionally. They led the horses around the oval track. There's pine trees of Wright Park surrounded us. The cool Baguio breeze made the 15 minute ride refreshing.

My wife was the official photographer despite the movement, she managed to balance perfectly and got us as many photos as possible. She took selfies of us looking goofy. Every time we completed a loop, she turn her camera this way and that to capture every angle of the moment.

Time flew by much faster than we expected. Before we knew it, the fifteen minutes were up. The guides steered our horses back toward the dismount platform to help us down. We hopped off and our legs feeling a little wobbly. It was such an enjoyable experience.
