Again at Ponyland, Christmas Hills (Victoria, Australia)
This was my third day with Trooper
|
|
There are barrels out in the
cross-country paddock ...
|
|
so I decided to let Troop have
a go ...
|
|
Not too bad for a first try
|
|
And here's my friend Kate
on Rael - looking okay too
|
|
Maybe a bit early here
|
|
Now down to the tyres ...
|
|
Good boy! You did well ...
|
|
How about another go ...
|
|
Over we go, Troop!
|
|
About this time, Kate
and Rael came out of the
trees ...
|
|
and had a go as well
|
|
Then we both headed up for
the tree clump
|
|
Hey, Kate - you're right
This is fun!
|
|
WOW ... !
|
|
Yay, Troop ... go, boy!
|
|
And one more, okay!
|
|
This is down towards
the river now ...
|
|
for a cupla jumps over
the pole.
|
|
Okay Troop - let's head
back up the hill ...
|
|
Do you wanna run?
|
|
Yeh - course you do!
|
|
Hey Troop - wanna have one
more go over the barrels?
|
|
Good boy!
|
|
Now let's try this little
double thingee ...
|
|
Now, where's Kate ...
Ah, there she is over there
|
|
Let's have one more, Troop
|
|
Starting to sweat a bit now
are you, troop? Ah well,
home soon.
|
|
And here comes Kate now
|
|
Ooops - bit early again
|
|
Now back through the trees
|
|
and over some logs
|
|
Hey, Kate - watch your head
in there!
|
|
Okay - dunno about Rael, Kate -
but Troop is really sweating
|
|
A slow walk home, hmmm ...?
|
|
But maybe try some style
on the way ...
|
|
C'mon boy, the river's dry ...
|
|
And up the hill home we go.
