We are having a huge wet season here, already well past our average rainfall and we still have the two wettest months to go.  The waterfalls are roaring, the King River is wide, and the grass is growing by the minute!

The animals are enjoying all the good feed around, soTwo of my favourite girls, Bess our coolie/kelpie and Narlie, my little mare

We will be at Equitana this year, booth #190, for anyone that would like to stop by and meet us, ask a few questions, see a few photos.  We will be sharing a space with Mark Rodney and his Horsemanship business, who is pictured here on one of our treks last season, and Helen Packer from Packer’s High Country Horse Riding, based north of Omeo, Victoria .
