On 19 April 2009 the Kuranda Endurance Ride was held at Tolga.

Jameel and I came in first and completed the course in 6 hours 25 minutes and went on to take out fittest horse in the Open Weight division.

This is the first time Jameel or I have won fittest horse, so I thought a photo was in order of the perpetual trophy.

I did not take a camera with me on this ride, so there are no photos taken from horseback this time. There are some images that I have put into the gallery that have been extracted from video that was taken.

The course was easy compared to the rides held at Wondecla, for one thing there was only one gate for the whole 80km, that is a bonus specially when your horse is tall and your not. The weather was perfect and the ground firm.

Vet score - total 168 points
