51.03 KwaZulu-Natal: The Drakensberg Mountain Retreat's Horse Tales/Tails: "We've been through the bush on a horse with no name...it felt good..."

For the record, all horses in the region are wild. On occasion, so is Jenni, fortunately.   Jen handles a tricky climb below Razor Edge. We returned from a hike which provided some interesting challenges as we climbed the rocks on some mountain faces, more particularly, Razor Edge. As we approached the large patio, I could see trouble brewing. Waiting for us was an attractive mare which had given me the eye the day before. Jenni was not happy at all. Clearly, the females were about to experience a face-off. I tried to calm Jenni but after her cliff experiences in which she portrayed real courage, there was no slowing her.  She headed directly for this ‘horse of a different color’. I decided to step aside and allow the females to sort out their differences. After all, it appeared I was the prize. They say there's a first for everything. Why not enjoy this once in a lifetime spoiling.  The girls 'eye' each other and begin their approach. The size-up. "...
