Wow! Billabong Ranch at Echuca is amazing. I’ve just come home from assessing at a Horse Safety Australia clinic this week and we were blessed to have these guys as hosts. What an incredible place. I can’t wait to go back to stay as a guest to go horse riding, camel riding, rock climbing, bungee trampolining, try out the pedal boats, indoor mini golf and all the other wonderful things they offer … oh, and the Clydesdales and coaches - next level ❤️

I really enjoyed today at my first attempt at working equitation. Our intro class was only four riders, but I’m so chuffed to come home with second place. I’m proud of my little bush pony with no dressage experience and limited obstacle exposure to hold it all together and give it his best shot. Today was a steep learning curve and I quickly developed a great respect for this discipline. It’s lots of fun but quite technical and I love that horsemanship is at the forefront of it all. Thanks to Maryborough Active Riders Club for putting on the day, the judges and volunteers and the lovely company of friends and co-competitors that made the day even better.

Well here goes … I’m off to working equitation tomorrow to try something new. Exciting yes, but I’ve no idea of all the rules or requirements as I’ve not yet even done a training day. What could go wrong 😊? However, I got to work on some obstacles yesterday, which I took full advantage of at Mungar Road Neighborhood Arena. To add to the chaos, the horse I was planning on riding became lame on Wednesday so I’ve had to pull my awesome old 20yo stock horse out of the paddock and dust him off for the event. He’s great in his own right and still competes but isn’t experienced in obstacles and has zero, yes zero dressage training, the two components of working equitation I’ll be doing tomorrow. Given I’m only doing intro level, it’s all slow paced so fitness wise, he’ll be fine. Anyway, just sharing the info and encouraging everyone to get out there and try some new stuff. Pic of my lovely old and paddock-fat stock horse, freshly bathed and all ready for tomorrow.
