Appaloosa horse Regal and Tony Golder at Penola Show

I first encountered Appaloosa stallion, "Regal" (Nevada Regal Deck) at Equitana in Melbourne where he performed with Tommy Turvey out from the USA.
After having one of my images of Regal published in a Horse book by Kelly Klein I was keen to meet up with Regal and his owner/trainer Tony Golder.
Then finding out that Regal still loves to perform for a crowd, we made a plan to visit one of the events he would be performing at.

After meeting Tony and Kerryn Golder for the first time it was lovely to catch up with them again at a country show,
this time getting to see a couple of performances by Regal and Tony, getting entertained by their array of tricks.

Some of the things seen here: whip cracking, attempting to lift a sleeping Regal, dragging a tarp, tarp over head while being ridden,
riding back to front, reaching for hat, yawning, standing up on stool, shaking hands and meeting some of the crowd. Enjoy the photos!
