Their charges include pintos, Australian stock horses, quarter horses, standard-breds and retired trotters. With names like Thunder, Blossom and Tommy, each one is a cherished part of the rider’s family. The group was undeterred by the hot start to March and enjoyed the refreshments provided by the volunteers of the NAC Community Centre. As the ghost gums haunted the dense bush behind The Ridgeway, the poetry of Banjo Paterson came to mind: There was movement at the Centre, for word had passed around that the Club from old Morpeth had come this way. The many riders’ horses, their saddles worth a thousand pounds, to the trails they had gathered for the day. By Thomas O’KEEFE Riders took in the natural environment of North Arm Cove.
