Here we go again, we've just gotten upgraded to an emergency bushfire warning.
00:04
That about an hour ago was Watchenak and 35 to 40 k's away.
00:08
Now it is 15 k's and they are evacuating the camping area next door.
00:13
So we're up the road where we lease a place for our horses and we are bringing the horses
00:18
from up the back bush paddocks in closer.
00:20
We are putting them all in paddocks close to the road where we can bring them home if
00:24
it gets to that point.
00:25
In 2019 the area had serious fires and we were one of the lucky spots that didn't burn
00:30
which now has left us in a position where we have a whole lot of fuel in the bush surrounded
00:34
by National Park.
00:35
So at the sight of smoke billowing up into the sky we were all quite triggered.
00:40
Here we have a couple more gates to change around and horses to move and check.
00:43
Then we're heading back home to prepare things there for a worst case scenario which is trucking
00:47
the stallions home and bringing all the horses down the road in one big mob.
00:53
And we then keep them in a paddock next to the lake ready to run into the lake if we
00:59
have to.
01:00
If you've been watching our TikToks you will notice that all our horses get prepared to
01:03
go into the lake.
01:04
We have all the foals in there.
01:06
They were all good with going into the lake.
01:08
The road we bring them down is about a k, a bit more maybe.
01:11
We did do this in the 2019 fire except it was 10 o'clock in the morning when we rode
01:15
out and bright red then pitch black with stuff falling from the sky.
01:19
It doesn't get to that.
