Again at Ponyland, Christmas Hills (Victoria, Australia)
|
|
Troop and Rael waiting at the hitchin' post
|
|
Me and Troop' just chonkin' along.
Troop was getting fitter now ...
|
|
Now it's out to the cross-
country paddock
|
|
Here goes Kate with Rael
(or should that be Rael
with Kate?)
|
|
Another go ...
|
|
Come on, together this time ...
|
|
And down to the tyres ...
|
|
And Kate has a go too
|
|
Another go for Troop ...
|
|
And another go for Rael and Kate
|
|
Hey, Troop - what's wrong?
Don't you trust us?
|
|
Troop didn't like this one
to begin with ...
|
|
but he got the hang of it ...
|
|
after a few goes ...
|
|
... and a few more (puff)
|
|
Then we tried the barrels ...
|
|
hadn't been over these for a
few weeks either ...
|
|
but Troop did 'em rather well
|
|
Oh well, time to head home again ...
(Come on, Kate)
|
|
A last muck around in the arena
|
|
then head back around
|
|
for a clean up and ...
|
|
Of course, while Kate and I were riding,
guess what our brothers were doing ...
|
|
Horses really bore them -
they prefer absailing.
|
|
Here goes my brother (Andy)
over the edge. I'm tricking
you, of course - these shots are
from up at the Grampians a month
earlier (April).
But it is my brother Andy :-)
