Host: Location - General Description

A small farm with a guesthouse near the pyramids of Abu Sir, halfway along the line from Giza to Dahshur. We have about 15 horses who work noncompetitively in trekking in the area.

Riding season is year round but best from October to June

Host: Dates of Competitions you will attend and can be a Host

There are FEI national level rides in the area but they don't tell you when they are going to be. Sometimes a local group can get it together to put on a LD ride in the area as well. Occasionally the Gulf will blow in to do a big international ride...that's fun to watch.

About Me:

I'm very easy going, not a fitness freak but can go for hours on a horse. Not ever willing to let something become more important than the horse's welfare. Mine support me after all. I can talk about anything for hours and have the digestion of a goat.
