The animals were Clydesdale mares bred in the Methven district and purchased by Mr W. G. Rudd, who had them railed to Parnassus, where they were loaded on to the lorry. Three of tho horses were led on board and placed side by side with their heads forward over the top of the cab. Then a manuka rail was lashed across behind them and two more rails placed lengthwise separating the animals. The other three were placed behind and similarly secured, and they all made the long journey to Benopai with a. scratch.
