No, these guys aren’t knights, but rather shepherds. In the mountains of Lesotho, the temperature can vary greatly. The Basotho are ready for all weather conditions. When it’s hot outside, they will take their pants off, but keep the blanket on to cover up. I quite like their outfits…

Once in Lesotho we headed to Molumong, which is about two hours from the Sani Pass, for some pony trekking. We stayed at an old trading post, now converted into a backpackers lodge. We only went pony trekking for 3 hours, which turned out to be just long enough to see the countryside, and just short enough to be sore the next day, but still be able to walk. My horse, Duke was gentle, but didn’t really listen to commands. No matter what I did, he just followed the other horses. So, if the other horses started to gallop, than Duke would gallop. Even if I didn’t want to, I had no choice but to hold on.
