Representing Australia in Ordos (China)
I was luckily chosen to be one of the 12 riders for a new city in China called Ordos, Representing Australia in the opening of the new equestrian centre doing dressage, street parades, barrel racing and many other activities. The grand opening and street parades will be held on the 20th 22nd and 24th of August. I am currently still in Ordos and loving it! (18.8.11). The horses are so different from Australia and their culture is fascinating!!!! I have added pictures and will be updating them regularly.. My grey horse I named "Prince" but I am changing horses tomorrow as he is not suited to the parade as he is a very high strung Tb :( ENJOY!!!!!! Below are practice runs of the parade and meet and greets with the Ordos people :)
