Contrary to popular belief, we do not have
any big cash sponsors behind us! We have funded this trip almost
entirely from our own resources (which are rapidly dwindling!), but we
do acknowledge and appreciate the people and organisations who
have kindly donated time, energy, experience and/or equipment to assist
us in the pursuit of our Quest. Thanks also go to our Charities, who
themselves have helped us organise and prepare for the trip.

| Blue Ridge Trailer Sales & Service - the people
who supplied our superb all aluminium trailer with air-ride suspension,
fitted to our own specifications and who have helped us enormously and
have become tremendous friends. Many thanks to Donna & Rob
Martin for all their help.

| Tom Seay and "The Best of America by Horseback" TV

| The
5 1/2 inch patented cone shaped capture area automatically self aligns
your trailer onto the ball. No more repeated attempts to hook up. No need
to crawl into the bed of the truck, the Quick Coupler automatically
latches when lowered onto the ball. Never drive off wondering if you
latched your coupler.
|
| Thermatex
- the best temperature controlling, lightweight rugs ( blankets) you
can get! If it's cold, your horse stays warm and if they are hot the
rug's unique 'wicking' ability allows them to cool down comfortably.
Tough, durable and yet machine washable - don't leave home without one!

| Many thanks to our old friend Chris Richards and his staff at The Print Room (part of the Whitehill Publishing Group - www.whitehillpublishing.com)
who had some urgent printing requirements dropped on them suddenly, and
from a great height, but came up trumps all the same. Thanks guys, and
don't relax just yet as we're sure there's more to come!

|
| Grazier portable electric fencing - this
system has been an absolute god-send to us on our travels. Invented by
good friend Bryan Pulliam, the fence is so easy to put up and take down
(in just minutes), yet is strong, completely flexible, durable, and
contains our horses in absolute safety. It runs off 2x AA batteries
too, so you can put it up just about anywhere, and we never have to
worry about where to keep our horses - any old piece of grass will do!
