Today saw us driving 3 hours north to Wangaratta to watch Stranger Danger run in a horse race. Run is a verb that I use with a bit of sarcasm as he found it difficult on the "heavy & slow" (thats race speak) track. Dear Strange ran his little hooves off but just did not do well at all - 6th out of 12 I think... trainer was heard to mutter words that sounded like glue and knackers yard upon Stranges return to the stalls.
However, I love Strange as he is a cutie inthe looks departement. See...
Hes also got character....
Too bad he would rather eye up the chickies at the track than run around it at top speed.
Chloe was impressed with him and kept saying "hello little guy" to Strange...not sure that did any good to the horses ego as he really is a little guy in height!
Anyway I did manange to shoot a rather impressive picture of Strange cantering past the finishing post- if you forget that there were about 4 horses that came before him it almost looks like he is coming second!
Go Strange! (hes the one with the yellow jockey on top)
Chloe enjoyed the day and was suprisingly good in the car - we did have to listen to an incredibly annoying song called 5 little starfish on repeat for about 200 miles - but thats ok - she was quiet and happy! She has also discovered sunglasses and is perfecting her "I'm a star leave me alone" poses.
