Balmoral Show

Mum, Dad, Harry and Oma and Granddad took a trip to the Balmoral Show at the new site at the maze.  It was a great sunny day and very busy.  There was lots to see.  Harry enjoyed seeing all the animals and getting up close to all the farm machinery.

We watched the horse jumpers warming up.

Watching some judging


Harry takes a break in the pram.


In the kids farm area Harry met and got up close to some interesting animals.



How many piglets can you see.  All feeding on their mum.


We saw some baby chicks and even saw some hatching out of their shells.




Dad holds a Californian King Snake.


Oh its time to feed the baby lamb.



Harry has a turn





Oh what's this.


It's a little puppy barking.



Harry is back to say bye.



After a we break with some music and sarnie, we called round to see the sheep shearing competition.



Oma and granddad having a good day.


While Dads back was turned Harry walks into the back of a large trailer and when spotted by Dad he makes a run for it.

Time for the Bolddog Lings display team.






Big jumps.



Waves to the crowd but then things get more dangerous.




Both hands in the air.  What next.








This is a crazy stunt.



Now all three riders go freestyle.





Some more cattle judging




Look how the cow handler keeps the cow happy by scratching his belly.



Harry is having a great time.


This handler has some trouble getting her cow to turn round.



Time for Dad and Harry to get close to some farm machinery.


Can't get in.


A fork lift this will do and Harry gets in to drive.




Harry is in control.


A great day at the show.
