Greetings from São Paulo
by Hayley Bettink
Hi to all my WA members back home, here is my story so far.
We arrived in São Paulo on Tuesday night after an 11-hour flight to Dubai and then 14 hours to Brazil. Wednesday was spent relaxing and recuperating being very jet-lagged! Thursday we travelled out to a stable 45 minutes away from our hotel. I was lucky enough to try two beautiful horses. The first a delightful black mare with a fabulous uphill canter and a working attitude, she was the favourite! The second horse a leggy bay gelding with great technique but a more difficult ride than the first. Tomorrow we are off to try more horses at two more stables before deciding on one to ride this weekend in the warm-up competition, very excited to have started riding and have received our Australian uniforms!
