Horses for courses…
Our local showgrounds came alive over the weekend, with a three-day Challenge event.
While I am no expert, this event consists of a combination of campdraft (working with cattle) and ‘dry work’ where horse and ride do a kind of fast-paced dressage showcasing their skills without a beast (the usual singular term for female or male bovines).
While things are busy at home with preg-testing our cows and handling of our weaner bulls, Violet and I snuck along to the showgrounds for a couple of hours on Sunday.
Thought I’d share a slideshow of some of my random shots (I have a new plugin which I am still learning to drive – so all fingers are crossed as I hit ‘publish’!)
As you can see, it was a feast for the eyes – and yes, I am trying to track down the maker of those ladies shirts at the start!

I had to learn to use it, too. Took me a minute to realize each photo in the slideshow had a caption! Seems to work well!

Good to know that all is well up your way.
The cattle in the campdraft section of the slide show all look in good nick.
No Violet, Dash or T.O.H. competing???
Cheers

I always find it interesting to see what sort of trailers people haul horses and cattle in. Looking in the back ground I see a number of styles. Would you show some up close when you have the time?
