Horse Sports are held once a year in the next district on from ours. When you live where we live, nothing is close by but I was fortunate to grow up close to this area, a lot of us go way back to childhood sports days, with and without our ponies.
We packed up the horses and the kids and went on our merry way the afternoon before to catch up with long time friends along the way.
My eldest riding Tandia....he is so lucky to have this mare, they are a great match. This boy is so casual and no pressure from horse or rider.
Youngest son on Honda, at 30 she is a bit long in the tooth but she looks great doesn't she.
He took his mare steady, "she is a bit cranky today Mum" but they had fun all the same got her trotting by the end of the day.
Honda's least favourite event is the flag race, but she was so good with her little rider and I believe a true testament to the horse and man relationship.
What a fantastic family day and a true credit to the committee.
A long sleep on the way home for the boys was topped off making it home in time to watch the NRL Grand Final, good time management on the committee's behalf!
