,,made the 2,000 kilometre drive from home to Ballina '' When I read this it seems like an extremely long road. But then I think about this video and that seemingly huge distance becomes nothing at all.
,,It was a contest of wills but I won out. He didn't like being behind other horses though and would accelerate into the lead against my will. Trouble maker.
The next shows me trying to coax him into the water which he wasn't very keen on ay first. The stubborn bugger just wouldn't go in but eventually I managed to get him into the surf and he loved it...The next problem was getting him out! Stubborn bastard. (A little like the rider.)''
Seems like G- dog has found a great rival.
Australia is a big place. For instance, in the State I live in (South Australia) one can drive for 1800 kilometers south to north and still be in it! the country is vast.
So that horse...He was a problematic old fellow but the equally old G-dog dominated and he ended up behaving reasonably well..I think he didn't like being told what to do, preferring to do it, but when he chose to! 🥴
I think that horse watched this movie and took main character as his role model
Quite possibly...Or maybe he was just being difficult. Had a bad day.
I remember when I did a round Australia trip I left from SE QLD heading to the NT and just assumed I'd be out of QLD if I drove for a full day. Two days later I was still in QLD! 😂
Lol, yeah people overseas don't get it, just can't conceive of how big a place it is, especially those from UK and Europe.
We're planning a year off and will tour for most of it I think; So looking forward to it. We've done up the centre and east but not west...We'll head that way first.
