      March 26, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Up early this morning, got on the road by 9, picked up Jane in Stratford and joined the long line of traffic, the road was super busy, got to Trafalgar around 11 and setup camp, had pies from the Bairnsdale bake house for lunch, very nice, the girls saddled up the horses and did a bit of light work in the arena, cranked up the fire pot later in the avo and chilled out having a few drinks and dinner 👍Read more

      Day 2

      March 27, 2021 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

      Woke up this morning to rain, the girls had an early start so out of bed at 6:30 in the dark had a cuppa then saddled up the ponies and little bit of light work in the arena before the briefing and a 8:30 start, Teresa, Sas and Jane had two great runs for the day and I spent most of the day on the arena gate. Had the team penning presentation after lunch and the girls ended up with second place in the open a fantastic result, the day stayed rather ordinary with on and off showers, ranch sorting was the afternoon activities and the girls did no good there, was a long day did not finish till 7pm after packing up the arena, big shout out to Paul for supplying a great venue.
      The weather cleared up so cranked up the fire pot and sat around till nearly midnight yacking and having a few bevies with Jane, Gayle, Sas, Cal, Teresa and Craig great day and night .

      Day 2 Competition

      May 6, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 9 °C

      The forecast was right it rained most of the night up at 6:30 to a few on and off showers, had a quick breakfast and then off to walk through the obstacle course at 7:30 and quick look at the cattle challenge and they got underway at 8, Teresa, Locky and staffy did a great job as first team out and completed all tasks in the challenge in a good time, can’t see the same about the obstacle course, they got a lot of the tasks done but run out of time to complete all 3 riders running through, was still showers on and off. Ollie and Archie had a great time in the kids activities that run over lunch, we grabbed a quick bite from the food van then it was into team penning for the afternoon and into the night under lights, the arena was fairly soggy and all of our teams managed penning 3 but not consistently and it was hard work to see some of the colours under the lights, pizza for tea with all the team around the fire and the penning finished around 9 and then they did a top cut out which ran for an hour and presentations got under way around 10, was a crazy busy day but everything went off well, into bed around 11.Read more

      Day 3 Ranch Sorting & Pack up

      May 7, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      Out of bed this morning to a better day patches of sun poking through, was an 8:30 start for ranch sorting, the arena was very wet and they setup to run the cattle from the same end each run, the teams did a great job running 10 through to in some runs but not good enough for a ribbon, they pumped it through and were all done by 12 and we didn’t hang around for presentations got everything packed up, decide not to load horses as it was very wet, Locky just got out and loaded on the track and I set of in 2nd gear with trying not to spin and got out reasonably easy and we loaded out on the track as well, hit the road around 12:30 and stopped in for KFC at Traralgon and got home around 2:30, was a super busy weekend but it all went well and everyone had a good time in the average weather 🤓👍Read more
