We're off to take photos at an endurance (horse) ride

We’ve only been home 24 hours since our visit to Perth in Western Australia but tomorrow we’re off again, this time to Collie. There is a (horse) endurance ride there and Vince is going to be taking photos of the competitors. Some will ride 80km each day for three days while others will do shorter distances. We are taking the car and caravan and will be leaving first thing in the morning so I’ll be away again for a day or two or three. While we were in Perth we attended our first ever soccer match between the Australian women’s team, the Matildas and a Thailand team. The boundary runners were quite young children and Vince took this photo of the little girl who was positioned in front of where we were seated.

Enjoy your horse endurance ride, I hope Vince will be able to take many photos. This girl seems already tired.

Tired or perhaps bored - but it's a cute photo.

Glad you explained. I was thinking to myself, 'ah, that is how a horse endurance looks like!'

Yup, they recently replaced toy horses on wheels by soccer balls, it is more sporty

And who says only opposites attract. You are made for each other.

@JudyEv Then one of you must be adjusting. Who is that?

@allknowing Me of course!

But Vince might dispute that.

Do you think so?

Sometimes we're pretty 'opposite'!

Cute little kid isn't she? I just thought it was a lovely 'pose' sitting on the ball with her feet stuck out.

Looks like she is very comfortable in that position. And when you come back for sure you have plenty of things you will share here. Have a nice trip.

We're back now so I'll have lots to talk about for a while. The little girl was totally oblivious to the crowd.
