(These pictures are for you, Allie)
Last year was the first year the horse trials were held. This year, we actually made it to see what was going on. My Mum is involved in the show, as she is giving a spinning demonstration, so I spent the day walking around looking at the horses, spending time with Mum, eating a waterbuffalo burger (for real!), and walking around with my almost 4-year-old neighbour, Lily.
The horse trials encompass several events for the riders, such as short jumping tracks, a cross country course with sponsors putting in the jumps, and various warm up rings. The dogs can also have some fun, as there is an agility course for them. There were tents selling clothes, tack, and other horsey things. There were other stalls and vendors doing non-horse things, all attracting hundred of people. The weather was perfect, and hopefully, tomorrow it will be just as good!
