Horses carry the load

Mick Bradford's Heavy Horse Day has raised more than $100,000 for RACQ LifeFlight.

Mick Bradford donated the proceeds from his 2016 Heavy Horse Day at the Yangan Hotel to RACQ LifeFlight on Monday night, 20 February.
The aero-medical service was represented by community engagement officer Nikki Bloom, who gratefully accepted the Heavy Horse Day proceeds of $11,000 – taking the total raised by Mick over the last 15 years he has run the event to a whopping $106,000.
The handover took place as part of the Killarney Lions Club dinner at the hotel, with the Lions themselves also presenting a cheque for $600 to RACQ LifeFlight, being the proceeds of their last Christmas raffle.
Mick plans to hold the 2017 Heavy Horse Day – at his Swanfels Road property – in October. More details to come. Check out photos from previous events at heavyhorseday.com.
