| Big Red, contemplating kicking Amy's horse |
This past weekend we celebrated our friend Debs' birthday by going up
to the Blue Mountains where we went horseback riding and stayed over at
a ranch.
It was a beautiful location and the scenery
was amazing. The weather was a bit testy at times but we persevered
onward through wooded trails, onto pastures and eventually reached the
crest of a large hill where we could see miles into the mountain
ranges.

In the woods we saw many packs of kangaroos and wallabies. They hopped along, checking us out for a while.
My
horse, named "Big Red" was overall a violent jerk, repeatedly biting
and kicking the other horses. By the end of the ride, the other people
in our group, all mates were actively avoiding me.

This behavior thankfully did not extend into the evening when we relaxed around the ranch's guest house and grounds, enjoying a barbecue, campfire, some rugby, and then delicious cupcakes made by Amy.
