Grapevine Stable Talk
D arling E ndurance :
Mamma Tahila (Maureen) and her trusty steed
‘Cruiser’ competed with their team mates
Thembelani and ‘Spirit’ in the Darling Endurance
recently.
Horses and riders alike woke early
and set off on their 60km journey - yes that is A
LOT of bum time in the saddle. With a 5am start
in the dark, you need flash lights, headlights,
spotlights, you name it, to try and see past the
tip of your nose. This is where horse and rider
need to be in harmony and trust one another
because if your horse goes down... You’re going
down too! Luckily these intelligent four legged
blessings, we call horses, will go out of their way
to protect (well most of them) their riders and do
their best to stay upright.
Well done to our Endurance Team on yet another
Opening 01 December 2014
achievement.
