Horseback Riding in Costa Rica

I spent some time today trying out the horseback riding in the Costa Rica sims.  I arrived at the horse barn to be greeted with a chorus of friendly neighs from the horses there.  It was kind of a pick me..pick me..kind of situation with the demo horses.  I finally settled upon the black and white spotted one, clicked the demo sign and got a horse to ride (well wear in order to ride). 

After some butterfly chasing around the fence, I felt confident enough to take to the trails.  First, I circled the volcano for a good close look then crossed the bridge to take in the scenery on the mountain trails. I wasn’t quite dressed for riding having come from a float in our pool while doing some work in another window. Lots of scenic overlooks along the mountain trails as well as views of the beautiful Costa Rican houses below. The demo horse, I didn’t name him as he was only meant to be temporary, didn’t give me any trouble while I gawked around the trails. I’m thinking about getting a permanent horse now and since I can keep one at the horse barn to save prims on our property….it’s very tempting.  *smiles*

After Del arrived we took a ride in the new speed boat he bought for us to cruise around our new home in. We cruised all over the Costa Rica sims enjoying all that open water. The new boat is super fast! We only found a few sandbars to get stuck on. 

It’s lovely how even the houses on these islands blend with the scenery so it was good to see them too.  Del had his hands full with mastering the new boat which left me to navigate so we didn’t need to stop to ask directions.  He’s better with the helicopter but he’s had much more practice with that. Getting back to our island was a bit more tricky than just wandering about was but we did manage it together.  I love spending time with my handsome SL husband!
