Robert Fantom is riding to all four corners of Australia |
March 2009: Long Rider Robert Fantom has written to The Guild.
I am finally able to SADDLE UP and head to
the for compass points of Australia. I have had my leg and knee operated on and
I have the Orthopedic surgeon's blessing to go. I've had three operations
on my leg and one minor knee reconstruction. So now I can move on. Over the last
four years traveling with this leg has been inconvenient: not being
able to head to the far north only to have to come back to the north-east of
Victoria, then head east only to come back again well now it's go go go.
On Good Friday the 10-04-09 I am leaving Albury on a complete tour of Australia
with only two horses. For economical reasons I sadly had to send Serge
back to his mom in Melbourne - he is the gray Arab in the background of the
photo. I can get him back any time if I want, but for now I will just go
with Madison the bay and Oakey the chestnut and Mouse the Jack Russell.
This Ride will also be for the Riding for the Disabled Association of Australia.
Good luck, Robert!
