------------------An email from Mum 2 days ago-----------------
We are in Normanton on a day off. We trucked to Karumba on the gulf to give the horses a few days off and the boys went fishing catching 20 king salmon -good to eat. Anita, Danielle and i toured up the Normanton river and saw crocks and mud crabs and lots of birds (jabarus, brolgas etc).
Unfortunately pig shooters at 4.30am startled the horses and Bambi went through a barb wire fence breaking a steel dropper off and hitting the next fence breaking a post. Bambi took a 3inch square of skin off her knee exposing muscle and has lots of deep but smaller cut on all legs. She has 3 wire marks across her neck i am surprised she is alive but she is acting like nothing hurts -one tough pony. We are floating her with Monny who hit her nose and shoulder and front legs but they are minor injuries and should be right in a week
We are now on the way down -200 km to ride to burke and wills roadhouse then truck to marion downs and ride the 300km to Birdsville that we skipped at the start. We have ridden 709kms and apart from the above all is good
For Grahams birthday we had 2kg of prawns and chocolate cake.
hope all is going ok mum
in Mt Isa in 9 days will send again xxx
