HORSES!!!

Well what can I say, I forgot to put sunscreen on, Chris forced me to sit down to eat and drink every couple of hours but I was only out with the horses from 6:30am to 9:30pm. What's the big deal :)

I had an absolute ball. I did a course to be a TPR steward (Temperature, Pulse and Respiration), I helped the girls prepare for their ride and basically just helped where I could all day. It was the best day ever!!!

Chris played the computer all day because it was so hot outside, I didn't really notice that!

And we had a lovely dinner at the Criterion pub and caught up with Ron and Margie, the caretakers of the showground. It was the perfect day!

I got a few photos but not many because I was so busy.

Charles was so adorable. He would tell you where he wanted a scratch by turning around and pointing with his nose. Then as you scratch him he would walk around in circles so that you would continue to scratch him in all the right places. When you got a really good spot he would lift up his rear leg and his lips would go crazy!

The three horses lucky enough to be used as guinea pigs for the TPR course. And They didn't enjoy the temperature taking so much!

They all start marching out at 4pm for the 20km endurance event

April had a bit of trouble to begin with because all of the horses were so excited. Just like us they get fidgety but once they are out their they just power on :) All of the horses that were left behind neighed and carried on because they either missed their companion or were upset that they wern't going!
