Trot On

Every Sunday morning for the past year or two, I take Clementine to her horseback riding lesson. 

We used to drive about 45 minutes outside of town to the stables with the corrugated aluminum roof hidden in the jungle, tucked next to a rice paddy on the edge of town. 

About a year ago, the riding club moved to Port City, the Chinese man-made island that was exumed from the ocean floor like Atlantis risen. The island has little infrastructure, and what infrastructure there is constantly shifts like blowing sand; we have to re-learn how to navigate the half-paved roads every time. 

The location isn't as scenic, but, if anything it may have prepared Clementine for horseback riding in the desert.
