After meeting at the equine resort, ‘Fetlocks on The Hay at Byron Bay,’ Australasian thoroughbred racing legend, Phar Lap and Pegasus, the winged, thunderbolt conjuring horse of Greek mythology, hit it off. Their prank filled friendship saw them reinvent the stylings of equestrian dressage events at the Modern Olympic games; raid a Steiner school teacher conference, disguised as unicorns & blow up the phone lines on their Bareback Talkback Radio Show. Get some fresh hay, lie in your favourite paddock and prick your ears, as Elf Lyons & Kirsty Webeck, two of the funniest equine improvisors in the world enter the starting gates.
