The tale/tail of a horse

Tweet

We have now stayed three nights in Latrobe Caravan Park in Latrobe, northern Tasmania, on the Mersey River. It is only ten minutes from where Vince was taking photos at the State’s Championship Endurance Ride (for horses). There is really fast, free internet here and Vince has been able to download his photos, process them and get them onto a FB photo album for everyone to see. It has also meant that I’ve been able to come to myLot from time to time and download my own photos which, of course, are equally as important as Vince’s, if not more so. It is really cold here and Friday was really wet and windy. Amazingly the main day of the ride, Saturday, was fine although cold. We drove out into the forest at 7am to get photos and we nearly froze although we had as many clothes on as we could manage. Staying in the park means we can have a heater on in the caravan which has been very welcome too. Maybe we won’t be doing as much free camping as we thought we would. The photo is of the winner at the end of the ride waiting for results of the ‘Best Conditioned Horse’. Notice how the horse’s tail has been beautifully plaited complete with coloured ribbons. I bet they both sleep well tonight.
