BUSY couple Trevor and Elizabeth Badger of Bridge House Stud, Mullingar are following the footsteps literally of their son Harrison (20) in Australia who, before he returns to Ireland at the end of the month, has set out on a 320km walk up the east coast of Australia. He is raising funds and awareness of the disastrous drought on behalf of the local farmers of the Upper Hunter Valley who are in crisis.

Thankfully Harrison’s older brother Louis is stallion managing at Kitchwin Hills in the Hunter Valley so is not too far away.
