On the last weekend in March we attended our first endurance event for the year it was held in Herberton North Queenland Aust.
The one I mentioned previously was canceled due to copious amounts of rain.

Barry completed 80km and won his division, whilst Anika and I completed our 40km event. All the horses got through the vet check without any problems. Though having said that my horse who’s heart beat is usually quite low, was very unsure of the covered arena and all the other horses around him surprised me with a 52 heart rate on the Saturday to qualify for the event. To qualify they must have a heart rate less than 55 beats per minute. Ironically after he had completed his 40km and was near his own pen, his heart rate was down to 40, however once again when he got into the arena he managed to scrape in a pass with another 52 beats per minute.

Anika & Suezy ready to ride for the 7am 40km endurance ride.
