2009 SA Police &
Emergency Games

On the 2nd and 3rd of May at the Metro
Showjumping Grounds in Adelaide, the
Equestrian section of the SAPES Games was held.
We took Roc On, the Perlino QH
stallion down to compete in the
Obstacle Course and the Novelties.
Roc found the Obstacle Course
easy - he wasnt phased by
anything at all - however the
ONE time in his life with us he
decided he didnt want to back
up properly and hit the poles as
he backed through them.
When the Novelties
started, Roc wasnt
100% with the bending
race - he was
responding a bit too
well to Craigs cues
which caused some
confusion for the pair!
The Flag and Barrel
Race however was a
different story - they did
really well there!
Craig and Roc were awarded a
Bronze Medal for their efforts in the
Flag and Barrel.
The Sack Race wasnt so good for
them - Roc didnt want to run too
close to the crazy man bouncing in the sack in front of
him!  And who can blame him really!  Next up was the
lemon race - in which Craig nearly drowned!
