A New Zealand customer told me the other day that the NZ GST has just been raised from 12% to 15%; up from the original figure of 10%. Here’s hoping Julia Gillard can keep her hand out of our till and resist doing likewise. Our 10% goods & services tax was a great improvement on the […]

Travel accommodation & meals – outback & in town
October 5th, 2010I don’t mind paying a fair price for a good feed but there’s nothing worse than coughing up the hard earned readies for plastic sandwiches or those hideous frozen hamburger patties, when on the frog & toad.

Lorenzo ‘The Flying Frenchman’
September 26th, 2010Like most Australians I can only speak English but I’ve come across a lot of European horselovers via customers and now have Facebook links to quite a few. Their fabulous horse photos do the talking. It’s amazing how many amazingly talented horsemen and women there are – great trainers and trick riders – and it looks like […]
Horsepower with Martin Clunes
September 23rd, 2010Great to see Martin Clunes (Men Behaving Badly, Doc Martin) doing a lap around the world featuring different types of horses, horse history, horse training etc. Horselover heaven with the ideal host – funny, humble & sensitive. The only pity was that such great material was squeezed into just two episodes – it could have easily been expanded into […]
