Browny & Antonia (Germany)

If someone had told me before my holiday in November 2019 that I would not only be enriched by a wonderful trail riding experience, but also by a new family member, I would probably have smiled wearily.

But sometimes destiny makes other plans! I got to know Browny on my first ride with Panorama-Trails. Honestly, it wasn't love at first sight. When we met, it was raining cats and dogs and Browny was anything but enthusiastic about being groomed. Therefore, he soon got his nickname "Grumpy"... But because of his very special nature, this chestnut gelding sneaked slowly into my heart. In the saddle we harmonised from the first minute. He was sensitive and sure-footed and together we spent wonderful hours on the Mediterranean Trail. When I got home, it was clear to me that Browny had secured a place not only in my heart, but also with me in Upper Bavaria!

After some personal difficulties and shortly before Coronavirus could spoil it all for us in March Browny finally moved to me. Thanks to his group-experience, he quickly felt at home in his new small herd of horses. The mares in particular quickly succumbed to his charming nature and perhaps also to his Spanish temperament.

I notice how relaxed Browny gets from day to day and how he enjoys having only me as a permanent caregiver. The wonderful rides we have had in this short time Browny has been with me are unique. Here you simply notice what great work is invested in the horses at Panorama-Trails. Browny bravely leads the group when riding andit is very easy to handle him. He is up for everything and does not hesitate for a second, not even for bigger challenges.

After a brisk ride, Browny's second major strength comes up: eating. I have rarely seen a horse that looks forward to eating like Browny. His loud neighing when I come around the corner with his beloved mash always makes me laugh.

Dear Rudi, Daniela and Panorama-Trails Team,
Thank you for entrusting me Browny and thank you for all your support! Above all, Daniela, you worked so tirelessly that "the brown one" could come to me. I hope that we will send many more voice messages! ;-) I am looking forward to Browny’s and my time together and we will work and grow together on our big goal, the crossing of the Alps, which starts right on my doorstep. I think if I asked Browny, he would just say, "Sure, when we are going? But don't forget to pack enough food! "
