A great day for a horse-ride

We are away from home with limited internet access so my notifications are building up and up. But I’ll get to them all eventually. In the meantime here is a photo from the endurance ride we attended on Saturday. They were a bit short of volunteers so I ended up manning an open gate in the middles of farmland. It was my job to make sure no sheep came through the gate into the crop. The photo shows my view of the riders as they came along the fence-line. They were able to stop and water their horses near me too so I took a lot of photos of my own. I really liked this one as it shows some of our magnificent trees. The riders all enjoyed the scenery they rode through.

Sounds like a wonderful time and the scenery certainly is postcard beautiful (as @LadyDuck mentioned)

@JudyEv I wasn't even looking so much at the riders themselves but at the whole picture and how pretty it is

Vince wasn't impressed with the photo as you can't tell who the riders are but it really speaks to me, simply for its beauty.

The trees are just beautiful, aren't they? It would have been lovely riding through there. I hope they appreciated how fortunate they were to be in such lovely countryside.

@crazyhorseladycx When people visit us, they often comment on the stars whereas I tend to take them for granted. I try now to appreciate them more.

Thanks. Yes, I really like this photo although, for the ride, you can't tell who the riders are. But the trees and scenery are gorgeous.

The photo looks as if it were a scenery painting ! I guess those trees are a sort of eucalyptus.

Yes, the trees are gum trees or eucalypts. I love this photo simply for the scenery.

They look lovely, don't they? They are just big old eucalypts. There were dozens of them along the tracks that the riders took.

It was a very pretty area - rolling hills and some really nice crops.

They must have got the message as they didn't come near me all day.

Guarding a gate doesn't sound like much fun, but at least it was a good day for it!

It wasn't onerous and I had things to keep me occupied so it could have been worse.

We will be away for another two weeks but just have access to the internet occasionally. So I'm trying to make the most of it.

Yes, they do. You'd be right to ride with them as they all have to wear hard hats too. :) You could easily be tucked in a saddle bag.
