The Sunshine Coast on Horseback

 Although we've hardly talked about it yet, we spent a great week on the Sunshine Coast earlier this summer with my parents. We'd not had a chance to get up there ourselves before, so it was a great chance to explore a bit more of our own province. Kathryn is always keen to get on a horse anytime they are available in the country and we made a point of researching some stables in advance.

 We had a very pleasant and leisurely trail ride in some very fine sunshine up the side of a mountain and along a ridge. Despite one trail being a little thicker and unfriendly for horses and my horse bucking a bit at one point, we had a great ride without any mishaps.

 The view at the end of the ride was pretty spectacular, looking out over the rolling mountains and valleys of the west coast. Not too shabby at all given its only a few hours from Vancouver.
