We found out that the New Zealand Pony Club was holding its annual eventing championships in Masterton... about an hour north of Wellington. So we decided to go and have a look at the Cross Country and Show jumping. Thankfully the sun came out for the day. The cross country course was pretty big... I was amazed that I (Abbs) used to do that sort of thing when I was younger... It really made me want to get back into it. So when I get home Im saving up to buy myself a pony... At 28, I dont think asking daddy nicely will work!
Simon was bored with horses, and Id seen enough so we decided to carry on to the east coast of the north island. we found a little village called herbertsville. It was really windy and we decided that cooking outside would be impossible so went to the little pub for dinner. It was for sale... We tried to work out whether it would be worth buying, but decided it was a lame duck, as it was a saturday night and there were a grand total of 7 customers!
