Veldiner and Gabriel Ridding at a farm in Cairo

Our visit for Iftar to Khaled and Carrie has made us coming back there weekly. Veldiner has been ridding in Sweden for the past 3 years in a ridding school but somehow she stop taking ridding classes when we moved to Ireland and Spain. She rode twice when we were living in Ireland but that was all. After 2 years finally she started again here in Egypt. She had a French ridding teacher who only speaks French; it is excellent as she is learning French in her school now to practice the language there.
The first time I saw her climbing back again on the horse, she has never lost of what she has learnt during the last few years.




The ridding club was also a nice social place for all parents to meet while waiting for their kids.



There she is on top of a very big tall horse feeling very confident.




Gabriel was a very shy and he is afraid of being near to any horses before. After which he first tried with a small pony during Iftar in September which Shiekh Khaled whom manage to convinced him, telling him that it was nothing dangerous being around horses. From that time onwards, he rode every weekend when her sister is taking the lesson.

That Saturday, a friend of us came along to see the place and he was so impress of the greenery trees surrounding thre area and many nice friendly people whom we met there.




Everyone standing excitedly to see how she is for the first time again on the horse.



On the way back home.
Elrener and brother Gabriel.
