Meet Gar-Won Tucker, a little black pony who is a champion in more than one way!<\/p>\n

“Tucker”, as he’s known, is the current Pony Pairs Combined Driving Event Australian champion with his brother Gar-Won Trizan … but he is also a real champion for the residents of BlueCare’s aged care facility, Canowindra, in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Tucker and his owner, Nicole Kimlin, visit Canowindra regularly to say hello to the residents and staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And he’s a big favourite, especially with the many residents from farming backgrounds who grew up with horses.<\/p>\n

Cr Deb Dennien, a horse owner herself and former jockey, accompanied Tucker and Nicole on their latest visit to Canowindra earlier this month.<\/p>\n
