Hi everyone!
I’m Sibylle, the new volunteer working for Sally! I arrived here about 2 weeks ago (from Switzerland), but it already feels as if I’ve been here 2 months… Which is a very good sign I’d say! The everyday life here is always exciting and different: taking care of the horses, riding them out or training them in the corral, bringing them from one field to the other, cutting oat for them, repairing fences or whatever needs to be fixed, getting all stuff ready for the tours ( from cleaning saddles to food packing), etc… It’s never boring, and always great to learn so many new things!
Last Saturday came 3 nice ladies to do a week tour to the Cotopaxi, and I got the great opportunity to ride one day with them and their 2 guides Cesar and Santiago. It was a fantastic day, the nature here is really incredible!!! We rode up into the mountains, from there we had a great view over the big valley, Cotopaxi and the other volcanoes around ( I can’t remember the names…). We got nice opportunities to canter, rode along a huge lava flow ( Santiago told us this volcano erupted only 500-1000 years ago! ), and then had lunch above a beautifull lake. In the afternoon we moved on, and were lucky enough to see 2 condors!!! Amazing!!! When we arrived to the Hacienda at Guaytara, Sally was already there with the car, we took care of the horses, fed them, etc… and then drove back home. The 3 ladies stayed overnight there with Santiago end Cesar, and rode further on their trip today. I’m sure they’ll enjoy it!!!
So, Guapa (Sally’s dog) lays on the couch, lazy lazy, and I think she needs some company…

Hasta luego!
Sibylle
