disco went on a hack though some fields. We where just walking along we realized that we had gone the wrong way. so we turned round disco thought its was time for a gallop. So he got all ready to go but unfortunaly for him, his plans where foiled ! I managed to stop him .BUT. When we got to second field he decided he was going to bronc and walk side ways. he also thought that he would do some bunny hops but i got him to stop in the end. posted by lily dean Continue reading...

What a fantastic day, great to see lots of people out, fantastic result in the 2'6 with a win, Disco was flying round and looks fit and well, also followed up with a great round in the 2.9 but lily went before the bell, so despite a double clear she was eliminated! She wont be doing that again, over all a great day ! Lily has now qualified for MIDARC, Cricklands and Trailblazers 2012 Continue reading...
