Looks to me Keith and Rocky have been best friends for many saddle miles. What an honour for him and such a proud moment in time. I bet there'd be quite a few yarns to tell after the parade. Lovely.

This was just after about 50 riders had got back from "Rileys Ride". A horse ride that goes for about
4 days and on the 5th day they ride into town for the parade. Then on the Saturday morning they saddle up again for a re-enactment of the Man From Snowy River where they round up some Brumbies while trying to re-capture the "colt from old regret". The ride take them through some fairly rugged parts of the Alpine National Park in Victoria. People come from around the world to take part and there is a 2 or 3 year waiting list to be able to do it. Keith helps organize the ride and he also leads it.

A national treasure in the form of an anything but ordinary man. Good, PJ shot
