Ontmoet die span |
Meet the Team |
Die spanlede is inwoners van die pragtige dorp Mokopane (voorheen bekend as Potgietersrus) met die majestueuse Waterberg as gasheer. Kobus woon in Maribashoek op 'n kleinhoewe en Jacques en Tanya woon aan die voetheuwels van die Hanglipberg soos hierbo op 'n 64 Ha-plaas. Die foto's van die span was nie opgestel nie, maar dis werklike foto's geneem iewers in avontuurritte of geaffilieerde praktyke. Op die foto hieronder het ek Jacques (links) net by Abenḉoado Lodge aangekom, met die laaste paar kilo's deur T4A terrein wat as 'Deep Deep Sand' klassifiseer. Ek het vir Kobus (middel) hulle gaan kuier waar hulle hul hulle Lodge vir die Desember vakasie was. By my terugkeer was Tanya (regs) darem bly dat haar man ná 2500 km weer veilig by die huis was. Ons glo dat avontuurry 'n voorreg is om te waardeer en die pragtige skepping waarin ons dit mag doen, 'n seën!

All team members are residents of the beautiful town of Mokopane (formerly known as Potgietersrus) with the majestic Waterberg Mountain as host. Kobus resides in Maribashoek on a small holding and Jacques and Tanya resides at the foothills of the Hanglip Mountain as depicted above on a 64 Ha farm. The photo's posted of the team are not posed, but rather real photos in adventure riding or affiliated practices. On the photo below Jacques (left) just arrived at Abenḉoado Lodge tired as the last few kilos were classified by T4A as 'Deep Deep Sand". He met up with Kobus (middle) who was having a ball at his Lodge for the December break. On Jacques' return, Tanya (right) was happy that after 2500 km her husband arrived home safely, yet again. We believe that adventure riding is a privilege to be appreciated and the beautiful creation that we do it in, a blessing!

Hy is getroud met Tanya en hulle het drie kinders, almal deel die passie om te ry (al is dit perdry).
