What a fabulous selection!
Oh, and I didn't know about equestrian vaulting and Aurssie Rules.
I'm glad to see the paralympics getting more coverage every year year. The Olympic stamps have certainly gotten more interesting since '56!
I love the agricultural one best. My favorite part of the county fairs when I was growing up (and now) were the 4-H barns of animals.
Awesome stamps, all the pretty horses! Beautiful. The graphic of the first one is superb

Australia's sunshine, wide-open spaces, and beautiful beaches practically scream outdoor activities. It's no surprise that the country has such a strong sporting culture.
