On Wednesday 19 May 2021, sixteen members and fourteen lovely ladies met to explore the Cavalli Estate - best known for its restaurant, museum, art gallery and American Saddle Horses. The gallery featured works by one Jordan Sweke (interesting technique, some explicit nudity). The museum is mainly devoted to sports - autographed cricket, rugby, boxing, football and other sporting memorabilia. But the highlight was the visit to the stables where we were introduced to the horses by the stable manager, Teniel O’Hara. We met stallions and geldings and mares, were able to touch and stroke those that she assured us would not bite and learn about their particular natures and dressage skills. Teniel ended our visit with a demonstration of lunging - a horse was brought into the arena on a lead and responded to verbal and hand signals from Teniel by firstly trotting in a circle and then speeding up to a canter. The awesome power of a horse in action is indeed a sight to behold. We ended the outing by crossing the R44 to Eikendal were we enjoyed the excellent fare offered by Giovanni’s restaurant.
