The endurance ride that we attended on the weekend was held at Greenhills, Western Australia. There was no internet connection in the area so I couldn’t keep in touch with you all. We had intended to move on further north but, for a couple of reasons including really bad weather, we decided to come home. Luckily for the horse riders, Saturday was almost totally fine with only a couple of very light showers.
There is an historic hotel at Greenhills plus a hall and about four or five houses. The road runs parallel to a disused railway line and the riders set up their camps between the road and the railway line.
In the collage, you can see two of the very young riders who rode the 10 km course with their mothers. The third photo shows one of the many dogs that attend the rides with their owners. For the most part they are very well behaved and are all kept on leads. The last photo shows a water trough. The man who owns the house at one end of the street always puts out a large water trough which is much appreciated by those who are camped at that end of the stretch of land. It saves them having to carry water from the hall back to their camps.
Can you see the horse-head cutouts on the tree above the trough and on the left of the photo?

the pictures are awesome as always.
although why you put the blue bathtub outside, is a little concerning. shouldn't that be inside your travel trailer? I would be nervous bathing in public!

I was going to ask who rode the "horse" in that bottom left photo.
It sounds like you and Vince still had a good time, even if you couldn't keep us posted on your activities.
Yes, I can see the cutouts. Very interesting.

@JudyEv I don't blame you one little bit. I never liked riding horses in the rain... or snow... or anything besides sunshine.

@DaddyEvil It's much more pleasant if the weather is nice.

Some exciting photographs. The young riders look quite spirited. Whose dog is there in that small tent?
The cutouts look good one!

@oahuwriter This is the season for rain, wind and showers, etc. It's just the luck of the draw if you get a fine weekend or not.

Ooh, horse heads! Just like The Godfather!
Such a cute dog, and you’re right, it seems so very well-behaved and content to be exactly where it is.

There is a very famous ride called the Tevis Cup which follows part of the Western States Trail which stretches from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Sacramento, California. The ride starts in California and is 100 miles so I guess it ends there too.

I don't notice the horse-head cutouts on the photo until finish reading your post.It did blow the campers away ,the way the man was so friendly putting out a water trough.
