1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Mid Canibury Writing for the Disabled is a wonderful local

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,240

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Maxine Hooper, morning.

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: Good morning, how are you great?

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: Thank you? Tell us about one Bat the horse.

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: Well, we've just had the tooth theory, which is a

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 2: dentist to most people to do the horses teething. We

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: discovered that Onembat had a really bad tooth which has

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: to come out.

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: What's one Beat's favorite food? He's not chowering down on

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: lollies or something working against him, is he?

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, no no, he likes carrots.

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: Well that's good balls.

14
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he looks so generally he's.

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Food orientated, healthy choices, as my wee Alice would say. Okay,

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: so he's got to he's got a tooth that needs

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: to come out. But because its specialty work, it requires

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: a vet and that carries a price tag of at

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: least two thousands of dollars. But what makes this the

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: feel good story of the week is the wave of

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: community support that's come as a result. Tell us about this, well.

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: It sort of wrapped our ups. But when Jared said

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: to us, look, he's got to have a tooth out,

24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: I'm not allowed to do this. You'll have to get

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: a vet to do it. It's sedation and it's an

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: operation basically, and antibotics and ongoing treatment afterwards. And so

27
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: he sort of did them. So we got our first

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: we thought, we've got to get this done. First quote

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: was around two thousand dollars without the ongoing costs. So

30
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: we thought, oh gosh, it's a lot of sausages. We're

31
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: quoted everything with sausages. Yeah, so I thought Paul wmbat.

32
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: So we just sat around the table, we were talking

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: about it and said, look, we've got to do this.

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: We just got to do it. And then one of

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: our committee we were sitting there and he said, why

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: don't we sit up and give a little page. We

37
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: never do who you know, like things like that, And

38
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: he said, what do we do it? So we've talked

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: about it and said, yes, we do it. And Emma,

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: one of our coaches, she set it up and suddenly

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: the ball just went off.

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't a matter of weeks, it was a matter

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: of days.

44
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: Yes, it was days, yes, so two than six hundred

45
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: and twenty four. It was that last night.

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: Wow, that's incredible.

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: That's amazing. Yeah, so we're just just you know, but

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 2: we've got brilliant community. You know, when things have to happen,

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: they may happen.

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: So when's the surgery booked?

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: Well, we're not booked you because we have to have

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: three quotes. It was the old you know, community agency

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: blah blah. But it will be next week. We've tentatively

54
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: talked to two lots of people and yes, so that's

55
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: what's going to happen because.

56
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: Now next week we just need to be whispering were

Speaker 1: bits of confidence, reassuring words in his ear. It's going

58
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: to be okay. It's not that scary.

59
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: Actually, such an old soul, he just whatever we throw

60
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,600

00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: just says, oh, well what kids do.

63
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, well that's what makes him perfect for the job,

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: right because he's just so chill.

65
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah. But he's also can be a challenge.

66
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: You know, he can drag his feet around the arena

67
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: and look like an old horse and then you let

68
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: him go and he's out there kicking and bucking and

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: doing the usual air explosions and horse type things.

70
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,639
