Since arriving back at the ranch after my 10 day whirlwind adventure through parts of Canada life has been quite tame in comparison. I spent more time working with the young horses and I suppose that provided some excitement at times. There are 4 who are still entire males and they can be quite the handful compared to the other 3. They are all only partly halter broken really but I managed to get saddles on 2 without too much hassle. I am hoping to go to a horse...

Wednesday night we spent at Sheridan's grandma's house in Beechy and then early Thursday we headed off to Craven for the Country Jamboree (or festival as we would say in Australia). Craven is the biggest country music festival in Canada and is like a B&S on steroids. Pretty much everyone has their own camper or bus and there were about 25,000 people there. We had to wait in line about 1.5 hours before we made it into the campgrounds, which wasn't long at all ...

This meant we didn't make Beechy until after 2am, which kinda sucked because we were hoping to go to Stampede park Saturday afternoon. Anyway we eventually got on the road a little before lunch on Saturday and made it to Sheridan's aunt and uncles place in ...

So after me complaining about Catherine making us get to the airport 2 hours before our flig...

My flight from Regina to Vancouver was rather uneventful, although arrived a little late due to a weather delay. I was therefore concerned that Candice would be waiting rather impatiently for me at the airport. However, it turned out her plane was delayed so by the time she got through customs etc. it wasn't much of a wait at all. Another surprising thing is that we managed to find each other quite easily despite the size of Vancouver airport. We decided to ...
