Milton

05-03-11
My loved hostfamily took me to Milton for  the weekend, down the coast, where they have some friends (Mel and Ross). It startet 6am saturday morning and some hours of driving -I was sleeping. We went straight to the Milton show, which is a little country show held every year, with some horses, cows, sheeps, goats and dogs + rollercosters etc.

Mel was supposed to enter a jumping competition so we waited and watched the horses jump. It was freezing so my clothes combination was a bit uhhmmm what you call it? MIXED ha ha

Unfortuneatly Mels horse was a bit sore so he didnt enter the competition. Instead we went around to watch the different things that was on.

Who can cut over a treetrunk the fastest with an ax? to mention just one of the things on :)

It was quite funny to watch, Have never seen aything like it my whole life.

and the surprising thing was that most of the men in the competition was elderly -i reckon

Of course my lovely little sis Lucy wanted a ride on this thing :)

It was fun like flying! I look massive tho with my clothing mix -it's Mels riding jacket Im wearing

After seeing most of the things on the market it was time to go 'home' Mel had 2 horses at the show and he had to ride them home so I got 'BOB' the red horse. I havent been riding for now 8  months so it was quite exciting! He was a nice horse tho and I havent forgot yet. Kinda awkward riding with tight jeans -I was afraid they would break.

We had rented a little camping in a caravan park just right next to Mels place. We had dinner at their place and in the night, me , Brian, Anni and Mel went to the show ground to watch the Rodeo!!

I've never seen it 'live' before, and I just dont get why people put their lives in danger like that.

But still it was rather entertaining.  :)
