But before I sign off… there are many
champions that rise to the challenge, and
given Barastoc is all about the best in the
Country, among the Champions this week is
the family that although they were
unaffected personally by the fires gave up
going to the show. They loaded utes, floats
and trailers and travelled up country to
work over the next four days repairing
fences, dropping off feed and supplies as
they make their way up there. Kate from
Everton Stud is among the many that headed
up the mountain to bring out horses in need,
working from dawn to dusk. Their work is
not over yet, and there are many, many
people jumping in working to collect goods,
raising money and getting in there…. It is
fitting they are mentioned here as Barastoc
celebrates its Horse of the Year with its
many champions, all the people standing on
the front line and doing what needs to be
done are equally champs |
