Just had a call from wife Jen.
A pair of U bolts have snapped on her gooseneck horsefloat as they travel from Gippsland to Shazada endurance horse event
St Albans NSW. Big trip, and part of the adventure.
They need to be there by tomorrow but are stranded for the moment at the Rodeo grounds in
Gundagai.
If you know of someone who might just have a pair of U bolts... and an hour to help out her number is 04129 942226.
and.... it's her 35th wedding anniversary. I might have an extra glass of red to celebrate tonight.
Cheers Royce

Do you by any chance have RACV Total Care or an equivalent?
I know on occasions, in the heat of the moment, that I have forgotten about it.

Yep Total Care. That's how she understood the problem. The goosekneck horsefloat has a caravan part to front, so they are
well set up to
camp. Tomorrow they can get the work done, but need to be there by then.
BUt.. GOOD NEWS.. they have had a local come along to see what the problem was and is at this moment fixing it! What a great country we live in.

A local horse bloke spotted the two ladies and is currently sorting things out. Part of the big adventure. Great.
