They are active around big events such as Christmas, Easter, the Avon Descent, Anzac Day and on it goes.
Last year I was amused when the horses stood at the fence watching people go past on Melbourne Cup Day.
Recently they all disappeared with a sign saying “Gone Fishing”, only to be seen down on the river, fishing poles in hoof.
I have been watching these creatures for years and they bring me great amusement.
Does anyone else notice them?
To whoever is responsible, a big thanks.
