Loaded up this morning and headed off around 11, traffic was good and a beautiful day to be on the road, only a short run about an hour and we arrived at the canni creek racetrack, unloaded Leroy and setup his yard, found a nice spot behind the stalls to set up camp, the travel buddy oven did the job again with pasties for an easy lunch. Went for a walk up the front straight to the golf course which is in the centre of the track and also crosses the track, Teresa and Shazza saddled up and went for a ride to have a look around the place, just chillin for the rest of the avo, got the laptop out adding a few songs to the phone. Got the fire pot cranked up sitting around having a few bevies, bake spuds and your choice of topping for dinner, quiet camp only a few here tonight 🐴🥃🍺👍Les mer
Was rather cold overnight, woke up to a magic day sun out and no clouds, had breakfast and then all the ponies got saddled up for a 9:30 start there was 14 riders who headed off onto the back boundary tracks then on to the Buchan road for a bit through town and across the river to the pony club grounds arriving around 12:30. A short walk across to the pub for lunch which was big and good feed as always, only 7 for the ride home heading off at 3 o’clock as the others did one way and staying in Buchan, a bit shorter ride on the way home back at 5, Leroy washed, fed and watered and back in the paddock, all riders well and truly had enough over 30kms for the day, got the fire pot going sitting around with a few chatting and drinking 👍👍Les mer
Had a great night around the campfire with just a small group, up around 7 this morning to a warm but windy day, had breakfast, packed up the van and float, said our goodbyes to the rest of the crew and loaded up Leroy, hit the road a bit after 9 and was home by 10:30, another fantastic weekend away in the bush doesn’t get much better, we had no power at home so we headed off to lakes for lunch, very nice at the salty groms cafe, a quick walk over to the beach then back to town to catch up with Jane at the Western pleasure club for a look, a few bevies at home now to round off a great 3 day weekend 👍👍Les mer
