Close encounters of the equine kind. Everything can go according to plan, perhaps except with horses. I really didn’t expect any problems at all except perhaps from big sunny the 3 YO Percheron X Clydy standing 17.2hh. He is only a baby and hasn’t been to the runoff before. I was apprehensive of the walk down with he and Clancy the brumby. The walk turned out ok, a bit of training for the 2 along the way with cars they had not encountered before and Clancy with a barking dog.Sunny had never seen white lines on the road before and the rain made trying to get the halters off when we arrived a real problem. Not easy handling a situation like that with a horse in each hand. Hope you learned a little of what not to do from this.

Floods at the Ponderosa Jan 29 2021 Maryborough vic It is still raining as I upload this vid. I fear for the nearby residents of Carisbrook. Never had this much rain in 1 day and not from that direction in the past 10 years I have been here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrPhqdMiDg0 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2abGIk0qos

My dear horse people, friends I would appreciate your opinions on Big Dutch's condition. He had a huge operation on his hoof about 6 weeks ago and has just finished his third round of oral antibiotics, Sulprim at $200 a container. I am in a dilemma and having difficulty judging his quality of life and was really down in the dumps about his chances today. It's sort of like having a Rolls-Royce with a broken front wheel that can't be replaced except he bleeds. We are off to the vet tomorrow again so perhaps I will know one way or the other. Its hard when you have been mates with him for so many years! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2UwVDlowg4
