… during my farmstay I was
assigned to a buckskin horse called Rebel. He had a bit
more go than some of the other horses (I'm a horse girl
from way back and have my own horses) so I was up for a
bit of fun. At Myella Farmstay everyone is assigned to
horses according to personality and ability - and I’ve
got to give it to them, because they usually get it spot
on. I had an absolute ball riding Rebel, but even though
I ride all the time I was *so* sore on day two after
several hours in the saddle on my first day at the
farmstay. On day two I got the opportunity to give him a
go at barrel racing - a real eye opener given that I’m
a dressage rider, but sooo much fun!
Between all the great farmstay
activities take the opportunity to do a bit of washing,
play games, go into Baralaba or go for a dip in the
pool.
"I
came for a week, stayed for 3! All three weeks
have been amazing. I've been entertained everyday
by the farm life, the horses, the guides, the new guests
and of course Lyn and Peter's fabulous stories and
poems. Olive, your food is wonderful. A
special place to retreat from the mobs of backpackers.
Although I
have written in a couple of years, Isis, XXXX, Smokin
Joe, bob, Blaze, Whisky and Rebel have all been a dream
to ride. Honesty is too big! I"m a true
pony girl...And I'm sticking with the fact that Isis in
the best game pony around, especially at relay's and the
barrels!
I'll miss
Bob (the calf), Isis (and the other horses), and would
you believe the early mornings! I've felt like a
true cowgirl over the last few weeks which was always a
dream of mine, YEEHHA!!
Keep doing
what you do, don't let it change. Thanks for
having me, Lyn, Peter, Olive, Shane, Renee, Kyle and
Dave you've all been fantastic. Good luck with
everything. I'll miss this place...
