Horseback riding for the kids and a picnic for the families, all at Trotover's, was one of the activities available for Swedish people in Lusaka trying to celebrate Labour Day, on May 3 (a couple of days late, but anyway). .
The horse farm Trotovers is situated off the Leopards Hill Road, not far from the American School where most Swedish kids spend their days. The farm appears in the middle of the woods a couple of minutes of dustdriving off the main road, beautifully placed in the middle of some green hills.
At 10 am the kids were ready in their helmets and boots and waited, like hardcore Swedes, lining up while the staff helped the kids getting on the horses. When all kids were sitting on a horseback they all went out on the fields. 30 minutes later both kids and parents were exhausted and in the need of a drink and some snacks, so it was picnic time! Blankets were unfolded on the grass in front of the stables and the families enjoyed sandwiches, fruit, lemonade and coffee. One of the families even offered a big cake. After a while the kids ran off to play with the kittens, and the parents had some more coffee.
After this activity some of the families continued to Kabulonga for some genuine hot dog bbq by a pool. A couple of hours later the sun went down and the Swedish families were tired, after yet another wonderful day in Lusaka.
