Who out there in the community normally has a flutter at the Dargaville races. Will you be going on Friday? (Nov 11) Will you not be going because the special licence that has in the past allowed punters to bring their own booze has been turned down?

Are you among any of those workplaces who will now have to make other arrangements for it pre- Christmas social event? We would love to hear your comments on the situation.

Hi Neighbours,
Our cover story today is about journalist Karen Rutherford's journey to recovery after a car allegedly ploughed into her horse, throwing Rutherford into its windscreen. Rutherford is now getting behind a petition launched the week after her crash by the NZ Horse Network to Minister of Transport Simon Bridges to make legislation clearer when it comes to passing horses on roads. Should horses be included in the national master plan for road safety?
