Help

Can anyone else see what is going on in Victoria with the EI situation. It looks like to me we (the government) is going to keep the state clean for the Melbourne cup well there is a surprise.

I own a couple of show horse that should have done about twenty five to thirty shows this year ,I put in a lot of time and effort to make sure they are ready and looking the best they possibly can. Like so many other people I know this is very heartbreaking to us but the state government and the DPI could not care less because we are just recreational horse owners mind you we are keeping the economy running while doing this but needless to say unless your horse is a top notch race horse they don’t give a damm.

Can anyone tell me why we are not able to immunise our horses and ponies like the racing industry is .My horses are just as valuable as anything that races what makes them so special. So if this is a free country where are our vaccinations. Why do we have to wait and see? We all know that it was the racing industries greed that brought EI into Australia.

My heart goes out to everyone in Australia that owns a recreational horse just keep your chin we have done nothing wrong and it is by no means our fault. Just keep feeding them and putting our millions of dollars every year into the economy making sure we all stay at home (by cancelling shows) while the racing industry is planning for the Melbourne cup.

Good luck to anyone who takes on and trys to get compensation from this government

Thankyou and I hope all our animals make it through
