How a Goat Helped a Race Horse become a Champion

HOW do you raise a champion horse? It’s a question you can put to the Tuncurry trainer, Terry Evans. Terry is the trainer behind recently crowned Mid North Coast Champion Horse of the Year, Arise Augustus.

Racing’s iron horse, Arise Augustus, is an equine version of a workaholic with a reputation for being as tough as they come. But the horse who refuses to take a holiday is a “big softie” around his little friend, a goat named “Flash”. “They are inseparable,” trainer Terry Evans said of racing’s odd couple. “Arise Augustus – we call him “Bob” around the stable – has a great personality but he can be very playful and gets bored...
