Sunday the 15th March Horse Riding Winery lunch at Dayboro

Nick, Dionne, Rob, Alice and I all decided to go for a bit of a different horse ride this time.

We went up to slickers riding http://www.slickershorseriding.com/ at Dayboro, we ended up being a part of a big group.

So after we all got saddled up with our horses off we went on an amazing ride around Dayboro, it was a beautiful day and everything was lovely and green from all the rain we had in the last week. We had a beautiful view of the Glasshouse Mountains.

It took us about 3 hours to ride to the winery (Oceanview winery) where we had a bit of a wine tasting and a cheese platter. Then out came our lunch that we had pre ordered – which was wonderful.

We then braced our already sore behinds for the slightly quicker way back. Which consisted of a couple of road crossings.

My horse did a bit of a bolt – which scared the bejesus out of me, but I managed to hold on. Then Dionne’s horse kicked Nick’s Horse, which went for a big bolt/buck with Nick on the back. He decided he wasn’t going to be on there long so jumped out of the way, flying head first into the paddock. Nick go up and dusted himself off, a few cuts and bruises then back on to the horse, once we got him to settle again.

The ride back took 2 hours and we where well and truly exhausted and ready for Dinner and a shower.

Thanks for driving Rob.

Next time though – I’ll opt for a shorter ride, took me days to get over this one!
