Love Antelope Park
by: Claudia de la Hey - United KingdomProgram: Horses & Wildlife Management at Antelope ParkI have had the most amazing time at Antelope Park. It has been incredible to see all the animals up close, I especially enjoyed the lion walk and elephant walk. Spending everyday with the horses has been so fun and I have learnt so many new skills like jumping.
