On Satuday just gone Rej and Rhonda finally got to enjoy the ride that Chris and I google earthed and found last week. After a practise run by Chris and I to make sure the track was clear, and we weren't going to upset any of the locals, we took off early to get a nice start.
The day was perfect and the horses behaved excellently...we havent laughed so hard in a while and Rhonda almost completely lost it on the platform as Rej continued to engage us with beaver stories as well as some bumbling and fumbling that was classic comedy..."George you bastard!" She really loves her horse...no really she does :-).
After posing at the lookout in various unglamourous shots we were lucky enough to have a tourist pop by who was keen to take our photo. We then asked if she could please take ours and she obliged.
We got the horses off the platform before one of them did a bowel evacuation and headed back along the track. A very steep climb up meant a very steep climb down. We had trotting and cantering and Nugget was stoked to see that cows dotted the hills as well. Luckily for us that bull had very short legs and didnt stand a chance of chasing us up the hill!
Only two weeks to MS and all the horses are going brilliantly. Getting sorted to go is another story. We are having a meeting this weekend to organise the logistics of the drive and hopefully that will make me a little less anxious. I am pretty nervous about such a long trip but we have some nice stops planned and I am travelling with seasoned professionals so I am in good hands
Enjoy the pics
Love Lorrie
