Some minor confusion about the speedy 2* winner but eventually Jessica Rae and her 'Rascal' of a horse win out at an unseasonably warm Quirindi
One of the side benefits of helping out at events in Australia, especially for overseas visitors, is that they often get to see some Aussie wildlife up close
Quirindi is famous for its fertile black soil plains which make it such a good area for agriculture but we found that it had other properties, less alluring, for horses and riders eventing last weekend
Despite an icy cold blast descending on Quirindi, there were happy winners at all levels today and horse blankets were put to good use
