Cowboys and Indians Theme Northcote Heavy Horse Centre

Despite the black clouds and heavy rain, the show still went on for the Fancy Dress Cowboys and Indians Theme day at the Northcote Heavy Horse Centre today. The exciting programme of events included linedancing, music by the country and western band, Good Bad and the Ugly, and several horse events.

One of the highlights was a ‘long reigning’ competition where members of the public could try their hand at ’steering’ Douglas the 25-year-old Shetland pony around and obstacle course. The event caused lots of laughter as, not only had the contestants never done this before - neither had Douglas!
