Norma will be launched her brand new single(Kosciusko ) a tribute to the Snowy Mountain Brumbies -who are being driven out of their home, by corrupt Politicians, slaughtered for no reason! In a rare performance Norma will perform the new song- and talk about the battle for our Brumbies! The Brumbies are a mix of many breeds- over the years Timor Ponies- Thoroughbreds-even Suffolk Punch was added to the mix- but it has made these horses quite unique. They were used as remounts in the First world war- by their thousands, - and created the legend of the Lighthorse, famous for their strength, endurance, and many Diggers owed their lives to these tough, fearless horses, who sailed away-never to return to their beloved Mountains. They are part of our History, our heritage ,they are being culled/shot /left to die, it is a grim situation! why can't they be left in peace on the Mountain ranges. There are many different groups situated in Victoria and NSW - their history is well documented and they each have developed along their own lines! Also many dedicated people /groups of people saving-supporting the Brumby cause- from all around Australia . I find it fascinating and have contacted as many as I can- to get the stories, the history and to try to help in any way I can- I figure as a Songwriter I can best help-with my songs. We will have T Shirts- maybe booklets- my song will be released on (volume two) of my Rodeo Collection ,due out in time for Xmas! We will be fund raising for the cause during the Festival-and very grateful for any support! Luv Norma xxx
