MRSRBF Re-enactment 2nd day

Woo hoo! Roger and I finally get to the Re-enactment area - a paddock out in Thowgla district. We get off our bus and try and find Barb and Adrian - we stand for a while infront of the crowd already settled in the area described by Barb as to where they'd be. This becomes too uncomfortable (standing infront of people already seated) so we retreat to the back of the existing crowd - and then see Barb and Adrian seated very close (5m) from where we'd just been standing. Doesn't matter, we couldn't have sat with them anyway with this huge crowd. Rog settles on 1 of our 'short seats' - I stay standing to see. There becomes more crowd behind me - but I just stay standing as they have chosen to sit behind my stand. We've arrived in time to see Rileys Riders Arrive and some of the other pre- entertainment. It is all very well done with the fabulous backdrop of the mountain ranges. When it comes time for the Re-enactment - the weather is being kind and the setting is fantastic. Then to top it off - we get a Re-enactment performance that won't be forgotten - the horses truly do 'break away'. Full credit to all performers - and leading man Guy McLean, they carried on with 'the show must go on' - and many people didn't really realise the 'acting wild' horses had got away. Truly - what a 'nightmare' for the organisers, but I think it all worked out OK 🤞 I just loved it - as it appears no one was hurt (horses not injured 🤞). After this 'officially' finishes - we now have the 'smoozle' of catching a return bus ride. We do catch up with Barb and Adrian, they of course, are in the same boat as us - the waiting game to get a bus ride back. When the first lot of buses arrive for the returners, Roger and I somehow manage to get ourselves on one (just!). We see as we're leaving that Barb and Adrian missed this bus round - oh well, we'll all catch up later.Read more
