Horseback vacation in the YukonDear Rolf,after so slowly the whole holidays processed, I would like to thank once again for the very nice care. If I think today again of the riding excursion with Rolf, I would like to search immediately a riding stable and devote my selve to the Horses and Horse riding. Unfortunately, I wake from this nice dream again and sit either on my office chair and do not have the horse mane before myself, acts separate a mountain or I stand in the traffic jam and have horse power from metal of myself. Both not thus the hit. You see that I have kept my first riding attempts probably, nevertheless, in very best recollection and will also keep certainly - also in spite of the violent muscular strain in all limbs. I think that this is particularly to be owed Rolf who was here very prudently and einfühlsam - Thanks- I think or hope, in any case, that we see again. Kind regards from Berlin, also from Thomas Monika 6.9.2006 Ciao Ingrid and Rolf Indeed, it is already some weeks, but the Yukon area is (and remains) to me still long very present!

Paty and I have enjoyed the riding tour really very much. The step security Eu'rer "peasants" has fascinated me. Even in the most difficult area one feels always sure. The great impressions and experiences which we could find out during the riding tour and during our wanderings were still excelled by the warmth with which you have looked after us. We have never felt like "easy" vacationers, but how at home with very good friends. For it and for all assistances, and of course for the overriding Verköstigung again many thanks.

If you allow to come up to us in November a German postal address, I can send You during Eueres of stay here a copy. Your program was so thick - and of ours also-, so that it has worked with a meeting, unfortunately, no more.
