In 1987, a 74-year old rickshaw puller by the name of Bai Fangli came back to his hometown planning to retire from his backbreaking job. There, he saw children working in the fields, because they were too poor to afford school fees.
Bai returned to Tianjin and went back to work as a rickshaw puller, taking a modest accommodation next to the railway station. He waited for clients 24 hours a day, ate simple food and wore discarded second-hand clothes he found. He gave all of his hard-earned earnings to support children who could not afford education.
In 2001, he drove his rickshaw to Tianjin YaoHua Middle School, to deliver his last installment of money. Nearly 90 years old, he told the students that he couldn't work any more. All of the students and teachers were moved to tears.
In total, Bai had donated a total of 350,000 yuan to help more than 300 poor students continue with their studies. In 2005, Bai passed away leaving behind an inspiring legacy.
If a rickshaw-puller who wore used clothes and had no education can support 300 children to go to school, imagine what you and I can do with the resources we have to bring about positive change in our world!
LETS MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE 🙏
Amazing once again!!
YES YES YES
We also make angle load floats.. This 3HAL has raptor coating to give the paint some durability from all those dirt roads!

Happy Monday gorgeous fellow Australians! We have Ekka day today but can still be reached with a call or email. 😊
What random act of kindness could we do to brighten up someone's week this week?? Big or small? I'll be thinking on that also! Enjoy the day off Loganites.

This old horse, the Rancher said,
she’s seen some better days,
she’s eating up my profits,
and costs a lot for hay.
Another horse would suit me,
a stronger one at that,
shes seen a lot of miles
just like my cowboy hat.
This old horse, the Rancher said,
she helped me herd my steer,
I’m pretty sure shes magic,
I know I hold her dear.
Another horse would suit me,
one that can run fast,
maybe one that’s younger,
or maybe one that lasts.
This old horse, the Rancher said,
she’s long and far in tooth,
my children do remember,
her fondly from their youth.
Another horse would suit me,
a gelding in his prime,
one that needs less fixin’,
that helps me save a dime.
Why, they asked, then keep her?
why not trade her now?
bring her to an auction?
replace her with a cow?
The Rancher’s brow grew heavy,
he took a staggered step,
his eyes did show his hardships,
in wrinkles, as they crept.
His breath, he took in deeply,
as he poised to say his words,
it’s as if the earth grew silent,
that his message should be heard.
This old horse, the Rancher said,
has given me her life,
I wouldn’t trade for anything,
nor either, would my wife.
Another horse would suit me,
and perhaps someday will come,
but this old gal, I love her,
she is the chosen one.
This old horse, the Rancher said,
her service she did lend,
her and I, have seen the years,
this old horse, she is my friend.
Another horse would suit me well,
but her home is here to keep,
I owe her sanctuary,
my love for her is deep.
Another horse would suit me well,
and younger days for me,
and I will keep my promise,
until our last breaths, set us free.

Some great info about rugging here.
Happy Thursday everyone.😃
Making decisions about rugging is much easier when you realise just how different horses are from humans. The temperature range where we feel comfortable (our thermoneutral zone) is much higher and narrower than horses.
In general, horses are comfortable between 5-25℃, whilst humans are comfortable between 25-30℃. That means that we feel cold before horses do, but horses feel hot before we do.
Learn more about rugging from https://horsesandpeople.com.au/the-science-of-rugging-horses-what-to-use-and-when/
Enjoy some beautiful pics of our Brumbies in the snow...❤️❤️
Getting your horse used to your new float slowly with all it's new smells and shiny bits; before you fit them into their custom length bays for a real trip is so needed.
Watch how well Zora backs off first time! Her other horse, an Arab (pictured in comments) is a nervous traveller, so we can't wait to hear how he goes in the JR, when the wheels start turning.....
"Just wanted to let you know that I love my new float. Only just started float training this week. Have a very confident horse that self loads while my Arab has had bad experience on float and is very claustrophobic and doesn't like another horse in her bubble. Will send more pics when I have been out on a trip. Thanks again
so much." Ann

Good news from QLD.. The sun is out today!!!!
, , , , , , ,
Gatton Heavy Horse show today was awesome.. Lots of gorgeous Clydies, Shires, Percherons, Gypsy Cobs and even some mules on display. Pumpkin races, blacksmith and farrier comps, plowing, trick riding, showing and lots of action. Oh yeah and the Scouts cooked a mean steak sandwich.
What was happening in your local area?

Happy Friday
If you see a lovely Condamine on FB for 6500 it's a scam!!
Also the internet has been very unstable today so follow ups will eventually come after everything normalises.
Enjoy your long weekend!

JR Promo 2021 A great overview of the JR Easy Traveller
My grandfather made it back from WW2 but many didn't.
There is no greater love than a man who would die for his friends and country.
We are thankful
We are awed
We are indebted to those who bravely faced the enemies to keep us free in this wonderful country of ours.
We humbly say thank you and remember their sacrifice.
Lest we forget.
Yes it's Easter!!!
Has anyone ever died to save you?
How grateful would you feel?
Today is Easter Friday. It's not about bunnies or even chocolate but the occasion to remember what God would do to reach us and save us from our own sin and brokenness. After being sent by God to be born to a humble virgin Mary, living as a perfect man and helping & healing everyone that came to Him, the religious leaders sought to kill Him. He was innocent of any wrongdoing but knew He would have to die in our place. Enduring agony, torture, spears, thorns, whips and ridicule on that cross because He loved every one of us, He could have called thousands of angels to save Him but knew his death in our place was necessary
"For God so loved the whole world, that He gave His one and only Son. That whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
I hope you take some time today to look into the real history of Easter..
As true a man as Elvis, Abraham Lincoln or Captain Cook, but yet fully God.
If you haven't made peace with God yet, don't wait. Ask Him to forgive you and be Lord of your life..❤️
In return you will receive forgiveness, assurance of Heaven and a friendship with the Creator who is funny, the brilliant creator of horses🐎, babies, the sky, oceans and beautiful things🌻. Loving, holy and interested in every aspect of your life!! ♥️
Have an awesome weekend relaxing with your families.

Wednesday News - SA and 6 month wait on new floats
2 Condamine floats have been sent down to SA this week - and a lovely Tamworth with a difference locally.
This angle load is the second one we have painted recently with Raptor coating and makes every float highly durable to stone chips (RAPTOR Tough and Tintable Protective Coating is a durable urethane coating that provides surfaces with a protective barrier that can withstand the toughest situations).
Just letting you all know there is only a 6 month wait for a new JR!
If you haven't yet talked to Hayley, she is lovely!

The Why of JR Easy Traveller
Making Anti Scramble Horse Floats
In June 2015, Barry Beattie the former owner of Easy Traveller retired and asked his employee/manager/designer of 7 years (Matt) if he would like to buy the business. Matt had his house sold and half packed up ready to go to Mozambique to do Christian humanitarian work, but after praying about the big opportunity, he and Katie decided to go ahead with the big adventure of taking on JR Easy Traveller.
So, with the purpose and responsibility of producing top quality anti-scramble horse floats and the safest way for horses to travel, Matt and Katie set off on a big learning adventure. Along the way they have been able to sponsor a further 4 children (totalling 7) from developing countries, support horse rescue foundations and also contribute to projects like building wells for the poor in Nepal.
They consider it a privilege to continue the JR brand which has been the answer to anxious, uncomfortable, scrambling horses for over 25 years, and a great way for people to enjoy floating their precious horses without stress.
