June 2nd: Euston tonight.
Just about to hit the swag tonight in Euston just out of Robinvale. Long day in the saddle for Esther riding just two horses Meg and Titan from Balranald (over 80kms) and both horses pulled up well. Will be in Gol Gol tomorrow night (just out of Mildura) and having Saturday there. I took the truck to Al Linnetts this morning at 7.30am and he very kindly did a grease underneath, and sorted a few squeaks in the hydraulic tailgate for us. Have to get the clutch adjusted on Saturday in Mildura at the Mildura Truck Centre and replace a couple of wheel nuts that ‘went west’ coming across the plains! I was doing a check over the wheels yesterday and noticed.
Hugo was out and about opening a gate for Esther…little bear takes on a big job! He’s had a very quiet day today. Joe’s had a good afternoon, where we’re staying tonight (paddocked horses on the edge of Euston at the Murray Valley Highway turn to Robinvale, there are two boys and Joe’s had a bit of ‘dude time’. It’s not easy for him constantly having only us girls for company. We have a ‘meet and greet’ at Gol Gol Pub on Saturday night at 6pm if you know of anyone handy to Mildura and they’d like to meet up with us ride4acure crew let them know!
Hugo helps by trying to open a gate for Esther? How good is he?
