victoria fun...




The day after our lovely dinner in PV, I headed to Vic for some routine medical stuff. Got to take advantage of the sun and some time to myself and walk along the Dallas Road waterfront.















Love this walkway and beach...











and out to the point......














a gorgeous garden in the inner harbour.....










On Tuesday I picked up the kids from school, met Jutta and we all went to Vanessa's vaulting practise. This is Queen, who they usually use, but today's session was on Rambler, a smaller black and white who is learning to be a good vaulting horse.








In between sessions on the horse in the paddock, the kids practise jumps, handstands and gym in the barn. That is Vanessa standing straight up on her hands on top of the practise horse.











Heading up the wall to do a handstand.....












the day was alternately rainey and sunny, and in between we got to see this wonderful rainbow!!!!!












Here are 3 of the team (Nessa in the middle) trying out a move before they get on the horse.













and then ON the horse......












amazing balance and coordination these kids have....on a moving target, yet!!!












Nessa loves to vault - she has done 2 national competitions this year and done very well.















Jonah got into the act of playing in the gym area too.......









and this is beautiful Rambler - check out the one very blue eye - other is the usual dark brown. Oh, and punk black lipstick......very sweet horse.
