Horsing Around...

One of the fun things we did in Cabo was horseback riding. It was about 15 miles north of the town, and literally in the middle of nowhere. The sites were beautiful. We had a little bit of a rough start, but eventually we enjoyed the ride.
Manuel was our "guide". He came from the back of the "farm" with three horses, and asked me to pick my horse. I liked the lighter brown horse so I picked him, his name was Allassan and he seemed very mellow. Tim picked the gray horse, and the third, deeply brown colored horse was left for Manuel. After Manuel helped us get on our horses, he started walking towards his horse, and that one started running around frustrated. Manuel tried lasso him, but with no luck, the horse took off like crazy right into the bushes of cactuses... and we lost him... Next thing I see is Manuel on ATV going after the horse.... and I'd like to add that as this whole thing is happening, me and Tim are sitting on our horses, and they are just standing there, not tied to anything... just freestanding....
I started freaking out, I was so afraid that my horse would do the same that I started asking Tim to take me off the horse. Tim was sitting on his horse, and none of us wanted to anything to trigger them off... so I was just freaking out, and TK tried to calm me down... It was pretty crazy, and no one else around to help us. I imagined my horse taking off and loosing me somewhere in the middle of nowhere ...
About 10-15 minutes later we saw Manuel riding his horse back... I felt better, but still wasn't sure if I really wanted to do that.
We left the farm and followed the trail into the desert mountains. Horses were calm and laid back. The views were just amazing... It's hard to describe, untouched by human, wild trails going up and down the mountains, the Pacific Ocean shore so far away from the tourists, huge waves crushing onto the wide strip of beaches, or formations of rocks... it was so beautiful, and breathtaking... very relaxing and kind of romantic... we both loved it and we think that was the highlight of our trip. The photos will not do the justice:
