Good On you

This morning at about eight o’clock I heard an ad on local radio telling us all to go and have a good day out at the Sunshine Coast Races.....
I just see red..... I used too enjoy a trip to the races but not now.

Queensland racing has been allowed to do what ever they want and the rest of the horses owners in Qld are at the mercy of the Dpi.

I made the comment a few days ago that we should go to the media....
DO IT....

Today we finally got told we could have a permit to move a horse for stock managment across a no thru road between two properties owned by the same person. It has taken 4 days since we applied and numerous emails and phone calls to get this to happen (thank you Jason at DPI). We have had representatives of the DPI tell us down right lies with regards to the zones in Qld. If this permit had not been granted today we were going to start contacting the media.

I still think that by contacting the media we, the non-horse racing people, might get to be heard about what is happening.

I am very disappointed in the response and articles relating to EI in our main country newspaper "The Qld Country Life". They have more or less dismissed the whole EI situation. Look at the horse ads in this weeks issue, nothing. Why can't they stand up and support the people that have always supported them.Christine
