🍻 🐎 Photos from our AGPU – Year of the Horse! 🐎 🍻
Q: Why did the horse cross the trail?
A: To get to the other cider. 🍺😂
A fun day was had causing mischief at the Hawke’s Bay Showgrounds with plenty of horsing around antics! 🐴
The Plodders trotted their way through the start of trail, where they found themselves getting creative with a little bit of arts and crafts 🎨. Once they had drawn and named their trusty steeds… THEY WERE OFF! 🐎💨
To the tune of 🎵 The William Tell Overture 🎶, the Plodders galloped their way through a series of challenges, including:
🏃 The Sprint
🏇 The Steeplechase
🎯 Horse Feed Toss – Bucket Target 🍎🥕
🪅 And finally, the Grand Finale – Piñata Whacking, where the winning steeds got to beat their treats out of the poor unsuspecting piñata! 😂
-Video evidence to come out very shortly! 🤣
After all that horsing around, the Plodders picked up a bit of a canter and continued trail in search of their well-deserved p**s stop for a beer n’ cider. 🍻🍎
Trail then continued to the Hastings Club Rooms, where we stumbled upon some spontaneous rock ’n’ roll dancing and live music. 💃🕺🎶
Then it was Home Home to Thai Silk for some more horse banter, plenty of laughs, and of course… the awards! 🏆🐴🍻
