WW: Tales from the Backyard 5*

 XC day brought challeging conditions - the area had seen an 'atmospheric river' the night prior so the footing was deep. Trademark is undaunted, and has prepared by rolling and becoming one with the footing.

He commits to the long one. The only choice, really...the infamous Garden Hose really demands a good galloping stride.

 

Conscious of the clock, he's also elected to take it on the angle, a risky strategy indeed.









Still cutting it close on landing. You can really see how this is a complete test of scope and training



A quick recovery, and onwards to the next.

Bonus: I zoomed in on his little face. Look out, he's super fierce with those ears and knees:)

    1. The constant state of both him and his 'brother'! I feel like I want to make a disclaimer every single post because they're always filthy (and currently little yaks as well).

    1. I'm looking forward to the day he's big enough to turn out with Sophie. I think she might have met her match for play energy

    1. Thank you! I wish I had a camera rolling 24/7, they're always doing the most ridiculous things (yesterday he managed to throw a bucket about 20' in to the neighbour's yard)
