The green, green grass of Main Ridge.

Animals of a different type: Alex leads Princeton back to the hitching post inside the shed at Main Ridge, Mornington Peninsula, after a two-hour ride on a cool day in mid-January. The horse trail, literally on a ridge, runs directly behind Arthur’s Seat and affords glimpses of both bays from its elevated position. 

After the ride, a giant old-style ham and salad sandwich at D’Alia’s Bakery Cafe in Rosebud’s Main Street.
