Selma Chapter Two

 

Two years on, we're catching up with Selma to hear about how her rural life has been just outside of Madrid.

Since we last spoke, how has life in Spain changed for you?

Somehow a lot has changed and somehow everything is the same. I am still in Spain riding and guiding the rides for Equiberia, but at the same I am studying biology at the university in Copenhagen. So my life has been a lot of back and forth lately. Now I am going to Argentina to be a guide in Patagonia.

 

For me this life is pure freedom! Sitting on a horse in these remote mountains away from everything is freedom. We follow the rhythm of the animals and the weather, and only defy the storms when we feel brave. Freedom like that doesn’t exist anywhere else and that’s why I love it here.

 

I like to just put on something that is beautiful and easy. Most of the time I wear riding pants. Both very slim ones and the old fashioned ones, they look like old military pants, so a Britt Sisseck shirt really completes my look. I feel effortless and beautiful instantly. I travel a lot and what makes it so easy is my BS pieces. A silk for evening and a new cotton for every day is my go-to for packing.

 

Riding horses that’s for sure.
Then my dream is to have a beautiful house, with a big kitchen where friends and family sis around a big table in front of a huge fire place. A cat and a few dogs in the hallway… with my sister living in the guesthouse! 

My boyfriend bought me a horse named Cariño, it means darling. I truly love that horse.

 

First of all to finish my degree in biology. And then I have a dream to ride on a safari in Namibia.
