Dardanup Heavy Horse Show | South West Photography
I was lucky enough to attend the Dardanup Heritage Park Heavy Horse Show on June 6, 2010 to watch some magnificent Clydesdales in action and obtain reference material for future paintings. There was also a riding and tent pegging display by the 10th Light Horse Bunbury Troop and the most amazing liberty horse display by Sam and Sasha Watson of Horses and Horsemen – a performance that every horse owner should see to get a glimpse into the incredible communication and willing relationship that is possible between horse and man – even with foals as young as six months of age! As a horse owner, the liberty performance was both humbling and awe inspiring and something that you could never tire of watching.
I have hundreds of photos from the day that I havn’t finished sorting through so I will make a couple of blog posts to include a few from the Light Horse and Team Australia Liberty performances as well as the Clydesdales.
