Monkeying around

The horse riding school is home to a band of vervet monkeys (also known as African green monkeys).  When we returned from the ride they were loping along the lawn and swinging through the trees.  The local villagers trap and kill them because the eat the crops, but TJ and Natasha let them eat the fruit in the trees on their land.  The riding school also buys most of the maize stalks from the locals to feed the horses, so everyone in the neighborhood seems to coexist quite harmoniously.
