Owns The Big Easy Driving Range in Bracken Ridge. Quite the inventor/ entrepeneur I'm led to believe.

He was also involved in a prototype, very lightweight stirrup a few years ago.

I have a wonderful, signed , poster, of Mick, riding stark naked, with the horse wearing Pelling Pacifiers !
I once got the chance to ask why we couldnt see any "bits " , and he said it was too cold the day they did the photo

Yeah, I thought so too.
I actually wrote him a letter, way back then, and ask for a poster . He very kindly mailed it to me, signed. Then I ran into him at a race day, and told him about it, and him sending it to me, and ask the question. He was really laid back and funny , telling the story. I was always a big fan of him when he rode. And I still have the poster. Its very well done,,,side on full race pose up in the stirrups, , starkers. Are people still using Pelling Pacifiers ?? |
