Down under adventure
June 13th, 2008 adminA week ago, I had the chance to participate in a goat/horse buying mission in Australia. I was with my uncle, eight other buyers and two guys from Austrade- representatives. On our first day, we had some farm visits in Toowoomba and Cambooya. We had the chance to mingle with the farm animals- kid (baby goat) bottle feeding, horseback riding and the like. We were even given some lectures on first aid in the farm especially when we don’t have in-house vets and tips in taking care of horse’s accessories like splint boots, leather skid boots, saddles, lassos, quirts, etc. It was fun and edifying. The next day was the auction day. We paid a good price for a pair of breeding horses. I really enjoyed our trip. I think I’m going back soon.
