Darley’sTravel Blog - The Tripbase Challenge
Tripbase is uniting travel bloggers and spreading the word about great travel blogs. I've been nominated by fellow blogger Nancy Brown of Writing Horseback in the Tripbase Challenge and charged with picking seven of my past blog entries of various topics. I also am nominating five other blogging friends to participate.
Here's some insight into my horsey travel blog and some interesting fellow bloggers you might want to check out as well.

YQA - Great Places for Horseback Riding on the Beach
In my quest for the ultimate beach for horse riding, I've ridden beaches all over the world, from Georgia's Coast to the coast of Southern Spain and from Uruguay to Northern Ireland. These are all destinations that other travelers can saddle up as well. The photos are a dreamy escape from whereever you are when you read it and remind me of the freedom that I felt galloping on the beach -- a beautiful feeling in stunning settings.

Royal Stables Video Tour & Princess Alia Interview
One of the highlights of our trip to Jordan was an exclusive insiders tour of the Royal Stables in the lush Al Hummar Valley outside of Amman. I was able to interview HRH Princess Alia and created a video that is part of our Equitrekking Jordan episode on PBS. I've shared it in this blog post.

Iceland Pylsur- I Tried It & Liked It Video
Victoria Haschka, a food and travel writer for the Huffington Post, had stirred up some controversy on her own, writing about the psylur in Is This the Best Hot Dog in the World? I ate this particular hot dog while filming Equitrekking's Iceland episode in Reykjavik and added my own two cents with my own blog and video. It's definitely hard to beat a grilled American hot dog, but this pylsur was pretty darn good.

Motlhabaneng Village, Botswana
I recently visited this wonderful village in Botswana where a woman named Jane Semanta has started a small business that helps other women use weaving skills that have been handed down from generation to generation. I hope people will read and learn about this unique village, as it shed greater light on how people live and work around the world and how individuals are working to keep their cultural heritage and the arts alive.
