24 Festive Tasks: Door 3 Melbourne Cup Day
hosted by Murder by Death, Themis-Athena, and Moonlight Snow
Task 1: Pick your ponies! MbD has posted the horses scheduled to race; everyone picks the three they think will finish (in any order).
Cross Counter - 1 point + 1 point for participation ( I think, correct me in the comments if I'm wrong on this).
Task 2: Cup day is all about the hats. Post a picture of your favorite hat, whether it’s one you own or not.
Not a lover of hats, any hat I wear would be a woolly hat, bucket or baseball cap.
Here are out there hat creations I found online.
Task 3: The coloring of the “horse of a different color” in the movie version of The Wizard of Oz was created by rubbing the horse’s fur with jello. What’s the weirdest use of jello you’ve ever come across?
I found a recipe for making your own lip gloss using Jello. I haven't tried it but I'd never think of using it for this.
Task 4: Have you ever been to or participated in a competition involving horses (racing, jumping, dressage, whatever)? Tell us about it. Photos welcome, too!
As a youngster I competed in pony club competitions, I gave it up when went to nursing college but my sister still has horses and regularly competes in dressage and show jumping.
Here I am at 14 years old on my pony Sunni doing cross country at Bruckley Castle.
Book: about horses or a horse on the cover. Books with roses on the cover or about gardening; anything set in Australia.
