it's a hill. It's a hill.

Yeah, I mean I wouldn't want to jump up it, right,
You have to go down a couple of gears to
get up and put it that way.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
So it's great to be able to bring this show
back and dead set country is all about my move
to the southern highlands of New South Wales and how
like you guys, I'm in a new learning phase. It's
goal for you, Lisa, and Spanish for yours. For me,
it's horses. Yeah, so my daughter, that's how we ended

(02:55):
up here.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Really, my daughter got interested in horses, young girl. Once
a pony, Daddy, I want a pony, and I wanted.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Now yes, yes, yes, name is actually Ruka Mooney.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
And so we got her a pony called Turbo. He's
a cross between a Welsh pony and a bumbye. And
never have you met an a re a horse. He
loves loves women and girls. But a man goes near him,
he is back, eyes.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Bulging, he's exposing his teeth on you.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Very very scary to do all the work.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, well, like Turbo's beautiful. He's my pony and I've
established a relationship with him based on carrot sticks, an
animal piece, apple pie.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
A bribery situation.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yes, but he's still like, don't take me for granted.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
Situation.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
In this whole new learning phase, know, I've had to
teach myself things, Lisa, because you can't keep calling the
rural contractor because he googles.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
You and he knows you've got to pay out.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Oh so you had a bit of trouble in the
encord with your former boyer?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
What about media? Pretty sharp?

Speaker 4 (04:26):
The fencer comes out before he fixes your fence, he
checks out what pucked.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
In your garage. There's a blighting scale. Don't you worry
about that.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Just be careful with turbo because a vet will do
that too. I think.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Believable.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
You've made yourself a target.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Florence's eyes, his teeth need filing down. It's like, all right,
no worry. So he's got a dentist, he's listening. He's
a bit tight in that back rump.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
So he's got a chiropractor.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Googled you. Maybe he's got.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
A farrier as well, who does his the's hooves, so
he's getting a pedicure. He's got a oh I'm sorry,
and we drive him around the cause in a float.
It's unbelievable. I'll be coming to Perth until I'm eighty eight.
I'll be urinating it in my own pants. It's like,
you're not my daughter.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
I want a chicken sad which where am i?

Speaker 5 (05:23):
The shoes from the farrier?

Speaker 4 (05:27):

Once upon a time before we turned up, they were
just running.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Through the wild. Oh no, now I need some Blannis.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
Yes, he's meant to be a brumby for heaven's sake.

And it's not just old metal shoes banged onto a
howf anymore. There's all sorts of synthetics and rubber in
