Death isn’t always the worst that can happen

Fleur @Fleura (35029) • United Kingdom 4 Dec 24

Sometimes you read a book that you will never forget. One of those is ‘Touching the Void’ by Joe Simpson – if you like adventure stories or have an interest in mountaineering I recommend this, although it is several years old by...

Another cute, long-legged foal

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Oct 22

The photo shows another new-born foal with its mother. In a previous post, I was telling Jeff Moffit (@moffittjc) that the legs of a foal don’t grow much after it’s born. In the photo, you can see that the forelegs of the foal are...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Aug 22

Yesterday, we visited a property where, from 13 August, we’ll spend two weeks looking after three horses, a dog, Dixie, and a cockatoo called Jim. I found a photo that I took of Dixie and her owner. Her other owner rides endurance...

A good news story about Black Betty

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Aug 22

Last season, the horse in the photo was almost unmanageable to the point where the rider sold her float (horse trailer) and was just about ready to give up endurance riding. She is a retired trotter/pacer/Standardbred but hadn’t...

The canola crops are looking good this year

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 1 Aug 22

We have just moved into the last month of winter in Western Australia and, on the farms, the crops are looking very healthy. The riders at the last endurance ride had some wonderful farm tracks to ride on and, as you can see, the...

Roselle Orsua Sacla @Prayerwarrior316 (35) 2 Sep 21

Are you into trial or loosing your faith?? In every step we make in this world we encounter challenges or trials that makes us weak and sometimes pushes us to surrender. It is because life is not perfect. Obstacles come for us...

The town and area of Greenhills is well named

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Aug 21

The photo is Vince’s and shows two groups of riders who were doing an endurance ride last weekend. It was also a good indication of how the small town of Greenhills got its name. It seems very apt for the area. Tomorrow is...

Why I thought the tree looked like a Thelwell pony

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Jul 21

We’ve been away and without internet or phone coverage but now we’re home for a few days. We had intended to stay away for a few weeks but the weather isn’t very nice at the moment so we’ve come home until Wednesday. As many...

Final photos from Riding for the Disabled, Collie, Western Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Jul 21

This is probably the last of discussions about the Riding for the Disabled event held at Collie in Western Australia. I thought you’d like to see the ‘rainbow pony’ as we called her (upper right and lower left), and her...

The owner wants this photo

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 6 May 21

I put up a collage of photos recently of Arabian horses. The stud has a good reputation for breeding endurance horses and if you go to the national register, there are some thirty horses that have their Marbling stud prefix. The...

More about my Working With Children card

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Nov 19

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion but is another composite photo of those appearing on a calendar which I’ve written about ad nauseum. I thought I should explain more about the Working With Children...

The photo is of four of the scenes that were used to create a calendar for the endurance riders’ association. Befunky has cropped the photos a little. Vince recently took photos at a HorsePower dressage day. This used to be...

At the Blackwood Marathon that we attended on Saturday, some 100 plus teams competed. About 70 of these teams had someone competing in the equestrian phase. There were about ten where an individual attempted all five sections....

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Oct 19

Some of those who competed in the equestrian section of the Blackwood Marathon which we attended recently also compete regularly in the horse endurance rides that we attend. One of the riders, a man, suffered a stroke some...

Our day at the marathon

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382107) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Oct 19

Our day at the Blackwood Marathon went well and the riders seemed surprised and very pleased that we were there to take their photos. Out on the course, quite a lot found time to give us a wave which was nice. As it was only 16...

Denise @petatonicsca (7070) • Japan 5 Oct 17

I can do it-- I can do it-- I can make it through one more class before Fall Break. I'm like the little engine: I think I can, I think I can... and I will then get to the top of the mountain! Also I have one private flute lesson...
