• 2nd day MFSRBF Event Corryong

    April 11 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    We leave our camp at 7.30am to walk to catch a bus to the Re-enactment. We return on a bus from the Re-enactment and get dropped off at the MFSRBF event area at 1.15pm. Roger and I go get some lunch, chicken dimsims for me, I've forgotten what Rog got! I'm ready to go and get a seat in RM Williams Arena to watch the 2pm Trainers Challenge Round 2. Roger happier to go for a wander about for a while. I find Lisa already seated in the 'usual' area that we sit in at RM Williams Arena - so I enjoy watching the 2nd round of the challenge with her, and filling her in on what the trainers and horses are up to as she missed Round 1. Roger comes and joins us near the end of the 1.5 hour session. I'm happy that the horse I like best is still going great with his trainer - they won the 1st round, and I reckon they'll be on track to win this round too. After this, I head over to watch the Dog Jump on the Rec Reserve Oval, Lisa heads off to check on Tony who's back at their camp. Roger just goes off to poke around - we do meet up just after the Dog Jump finishes. We go to the bar and get a drink, before settling ourselves back on the seating at RM Williams Arena, ready for the 5pm Feature Cut Out. This then leads to watching the Rodeo 6.30pm Wrangler Xtreme Broncs. During this I get a message from Barb - we'll meet up around 7.30pm at the mainstage, music time. Adrian and Barb have got a great spot saved for us when Rog and I meet up with them, we're 2nd row from the front of stage - off to the RHS so we're not fully behind the dance area - perfect! We're now nice and rugged up as it's a cold evening (calm) - ready to sit back and enjoy some beaut performers - the music is great. Max Jackson is terrific - she can sing! Fanny Lumsden is a livewire, really good too. Then of course, happy to hear The Wolfe Brothers. It's around 10.30pm when Wolfe Brothers set finishes (Rog has been nodding off) so we're all in agreement that we'll call it a night - missing Wade Forster. We all walk back to our respective camps.Read more
