After seeing a comment from Jordi, I thought I'd add a special photo for both of you to share. It was taken around 1948 and shows the three horses on the old family dairy farm. They would pull the carts and plough and were friends of my mother when she was a teenager. They are from left to right, Bud, Darby and Duke.

Paris has now joined the Ponytastic Crew from 4KM and 4KJ. Paris may also use the contents of this post and share with friends.

Below is another addition to the post. I uploaded a short 20 second show jumping clip to my You Tube channel for the Ponytastic Crew to see. It can't be found by searching online. You need the link because it is unlisted. It shows an adult riding his horse at my local show held in January this year.

Dear Alexis,

As promised, here are some horse photos from my collection. Some are of my local country show's equestrian events. I am the show's unofficial photographer and an official help and tech assistant. This means I just help where needed. 🙂

Back on the old family farm when my mum was a girl and teenager in the 1930s and 1940s, horses were used for ploughing, pulling wagons and riding. Three of her favourite farm horses were Bud, Darby and Duke. This photo was taken in 1948...

Not all horses in my photo collection are real. I took this one of a winged unicorn at a World Expo held in Brisbane in 1988. This horse was part of an evening light parade.

The following photograph was taken in 1990 when my grade was on a four day visit to an old gold mining area, Bathurst.

There is also an historical group in my shire who appear at shows in the uniform of the Australian Light Horse from World War I. The first is the full colour photo and the second has been "aged" to look more like an old photo .
