Quilty Training

Well, I did a foolish thing.....i'm up for riding the Quilty at Nanango in a little over 2 weeks time. Not sure how I'm going to manage it but been trying to claw my level of fitness up to that of the horse (Aloha Kamahl) that I've been offered. Rode the Brymaroo 80km the w/e before last and it was tough. My little finger on my right hand took a clobber (think PI greenstick fracture), got dehydrated and pretty exhausted. Feeling much better this week. Because I have to remember "I AM an ATHLETE!" Apparently...... PS the horse in the pictures is Blue Bronco (Shahdara x Blue Meanai Lady), Kamahl was at Marburg at the time.
