The Berber Trail - Marrakech Riding
The fabulous Jenni from Sweden has opened a superb stables about 25k out of Marrakech on the Route de Fez. Its a little way out but really worth it for the fabulous scenery. There are a number of different rides, some around amazing mud villages. Jenni picked up perfect Moroccan dialect arabic in a year of being here. The trick, she only spoke to Moroccans originally during the initial build of the club. Her horses are top notch and impeccably trained, even though they are mainly stallions, nice as you don't ever get that out of control feeling, sometimes associated with stallions. Jenni drove the first horses all the way from Sweden with her father. They got stopped at customs with the horses for 10 days! Jayne and i ride with Jenni every Friday morning. At the moment it's very civilised riding as the weather is so wonderful. We drop the kids at school and head off down the Fez Road to her stables. In the summer you have to ride very early morning or late afternoon. A la
