We had set ourselves a challenge to ride from the Clarence Valley to the Capital, to raise awareness of an issue close to our hearts and our homes. We did what we set out to do, and we did it well. We delivered our message and many letters to Parliament House, we brought awareness to the issue of invasive gas fields and their affects on farming, and we stood up for the future we want for our kids. Futures where they can still drink out of the creek, swim in the dam, and breathe good clean country air.
Maybe more politicians should take the time to travel along the BNT, and then they would appreciate the beauty of this country, and the value of clean water. After all, at the end of the day all a horse really needs is a feed and some good, clean water.
