Ready for the trail

No internet last night but gee what a day yesterday was from start to finish.
The morning we photographed royal spoonbills and then off to watch 60 riders comindthrough a trail part of which was along the beach. It was fantastic to see. Some riders galloping others splashing through water. It was awesome and then a little seal came right up to the waters edge and looked at us, see that in extras.
Back to Owaka and we were lucky enough to get taken for a ride around the streets in a covered wagon.
Grand parade of 500 participants today, horses,wagons and riders. What a day ahead of us
