We have had a major set back! Tragically/annoyingly/most inconveniently, Mark has cracked his heel bone!!?!?
He instinctively (but stupidly) jumped from the horse rather than hit the tree and landed heavily on his heel..
Having jumped myself from my horse Rayo a few years ago as he galloped out of control on a cliff edge, knocking myself out and breaking a rib, we have now both learnt first hand that you are safer staying on !!
Coulda, shoulda, woulda, dont change anything so we are doing everything in our power to facilitate a fast recovery.
Mark has a massive half boot, velcro strapped, stabilising thing that he reckons he'll fit in a stirrup as the show must go on.
But I reality we can't leave on Sunday as planned.. we are gutted..
He popped the question with an ulterior motive: To realise our long held dream of riding our horses from our home in Southern Spain to Brighton, England, where we could marry alongside our nearest and dearest (even the horses!). This blog chronicles our epic long distance barefoot ride through Europe from the point of view of both bride (Niki) and groom (Mark). Will they get to the church on time... and in one piece??!!
