Entries about hore riding

Mark & Fenella have some beautiful horses on the farm, with Millie becoming an excellent eventer in show jumping and dressage.

Although I love horses, I don't often get chance to ride them, so it was great to take a ride out with Millie one evening.

Millie rode Jasper

and I rode Gus (on the right)

who for some reason is a horrible horse and keen on biting or kicking... unless you're on him, in which case he is an obedient gentleman!

Riding in the area around Mount Buller (below) offers amazing views.


But riding on the farm presents the challenge of opening a closing the gates to keep the live stock in the right place!
Millie is an expert at this..

Thanks Millie...

Millie school project this year was to break in one of the less tame horses, Eddie.

It was interesting to watch the techniques and with Cain's help, I'm sure she'll do just great

It was good to watch Millie on one of her riding lessons, today on Jasper:

though I have to say I didn't understand much of the technical talk!
