Mac and Gayle, just saw your story on Australian Story. You both are what being Australian is about… courage, commitment, drive and determination. I was touched by your story. It is inspiring in every way. Thank you for sharing.
Dear Matt and Gayle,
Thank you thank you. Your lives shared on Australian Story has always inspired me from that first episode. Bless you both for sharing with us. As usual I had a dammed good cry on the latest update. As a teacher of young people I sometimes use your story of anything is possible if you want it. Bless you both. Kindest Regards Phillip
I’ve just watched your Australian Story. I am truly lost for words. What a real man you are Mac. The man of a lifetime. To be honest, you’re really the Power Couple of a lifetime. A shocking, yet amazing story. I wish you eternal happiness, courage and strength. (please do not waste any of your valuable time in replying, I would much rather you spend quality time with each other 🙂
I was so very moved by your story. It has given me determination to face whatever may lie ahead in my life. You are such a wonderful couple, so very devoted to each other. Mac, you are such a gentleman, so selfless you are an inspiration to the world. Bless you Both.
Wow! You two are just wonderful! The love you have is a gift to treasure. Congratulations on all your achievements and on your commitment to each other. You’ve inspired me incredibly and thank you for sharing your story.

Hi Mac & Gayle, I just watched Australian Story & I wanted to let you know how much of an inspiration you both are.

You truly represent the true aussie spirit & you both deserve to live long, happy & fulfilling lives. All the best.
Dear Mac and Gayle
I have seen all Australian Story episodes about you. It is a truly amazing story and one that shows what a wonderful couple you are. Such strength and determination.
I wish you both the best for now and the future. You have done so much despite the difficulties that life has presented you with.
Wishing you a wonderful life together, you deserve this.

Gayle. It has taken me many years to send this message.
About 30 years ago I found myself in the exact same situation as you. Young and silly, I was too close to the drive shaft on a linkage digger, building our house fence on our place outside Roma where I live with my own family now. Only the shaft caught my jeans and it just ripped them off me like toilet paper off a roll. What saved me was my jeans were old and rotten and they ripped easily.
It frightened me at the time and didn’t think much more about it.
I watched your first Australian Story all those years ago and it really put my situation into perspective. I was just lucky that day and seeing you on TV tonight has reminded me of it again.
I love my horses too and I don’t know how I would feel if I couldn’t ride.
I admire you and Mac Gayle. All the very best.
James
Dear Gayle and Mac,
My partner Nadia and I both watched the Australian Story special that you were featured on tonight and were absolutely in awe of you both! Both of us being finishing physiotherapists, we have a pretty reasonable understanding of many (but certainly not all!) of the challenges that you face every day. What was amazing for us to see was the support that you both give to each other through thick and thin. It really seems like that support and understanding goes in both directions too!
We loved your commitment to your lifestyle when you decided to stay on the farm with the horses (Nadia is nuts about them even after having a horse-related accident!) and thought it showed real guts! You are both role models for adapting your lives to suit your situations, and not just physical rehabilitation, but also rehabilitation of your lifestyle, goals, dreams and inspiration!
Congratulations on your amazing relationship, and kudos for setting such a fine example for anyone that comes up against adversity in life to follow.
Keep up the amazing work!
Josh & Nadia
So proud of you both. Hang in there guys and best of luck with your horses and cattle xxx
Cheers Mac and Gail, love looking at your horses for sale site all good types, my friend Bob Neil speaks very highly of you both hope to catch up with you one day.

I volunteer at the information centre (which houses the free justice of the peace service)..It is a sunny day here in Perth ..just saying hello..your story has always interested me probably because I loved Elizabeth O’Connor’s books on life in the Queensland outback
Hi,Gayle on 24/11/99 I took up tractor wrestling and came off second best, by far.You were and am my inspiration and I hope you are as well as I. I thought I was a tough old B but have found out different but at 68 and I can’t complain.kind regards Ian K.
Hi Gayle and Mac
I have often wondered how you are both going. Yes you would know the
last, that is because i am 1 of Kelly’s cousins.
Hi Gayle and Mac, I’m a nurse who delivers education sessions on brachial plexus injury to junior nurses. I always mention your inspirational story. Thank you and I would love to hear how you are doing. Take care, Fiona
Hi Gayle. Hi Mac.
I just wanted to let you know that ever since I first heard your story, I think about you both often and check the ‘net regularly for news on how things are going for you. And every time my wife & I are out working on the farm, we try very hard to keep in front of mind the lessons we’ve learned from your hard-fought experiences.
Best wishes
Shaun

Hi Gale & Mac
Gale it has been many yrs since i’ve seen you. Spent many school holidays at the valley together & in Tville. Glad to see you’re both doing well. Happy new yr.
Michael Toms
OMD looks great, looking forward to the day when we can send a mare or 2. Had a good friend who saw him at Quirindi, and he said he was “the best cut of a colt he had seen in a long time” and that just confirmed our decision for when we breed outside next. His foals look very neat.
I’m new to Australia I miss the horse business. I was browsing through and seen yours. I’m in love with your horses and what you do with them! This is a very nice site thanks for sharing.
Hey Gayle,so good to see you this site is awesome, you are often in my thoughts, would love to catch up again one day, hows Kyles doing? If anyone was going to get through this it was going to be you! I can remember when you were younger you wouldn’t let anyone tell you no! Love ya.
hey Gayley, just found your site through add for omd, its great to see you guys going so well, you are often in my thoughts Gayle, we’d love to catch up sometime, as well as with that Kylie girl 🙂 …
Love M
We watched “your story” DVD in a Uni tutorial, today, and we were touch by your story, your lives, and the way you have overcome the obstacles, to live your dream. With love and best wishes
Hi guys, I am a nurse that grew up in a rural town in Tassie & have worked in a variety of different areas from the desert with indigenous people to other remote locations around Australia & overseas. I am now trying to help students at University who are studying allied health subjects to get a grasp on rural and remote primary and public health care. In our tutorials this week we are watching your story, ‘With this ring’ and the students then discuss it and answer questions. What I really want to get across to them is how versatile and resilient rural people are. No doubt Mac hasn’t been trained as a physiotherapist or occupational therapist yet he fulfils those roles whilst caring for you. Things folk in the city take for granted, they just pop along to the medical centre. I am interested to know if where you live has a heated pool you are able to use all year round for rehab & pain relief. I personally believe Australia’s true heroes are the farmers & those living in remote areas who don’t have access to all the services we have, yet you never hear them complain. Yours truly is a beautiful story of love & commitment & one that is inspiring many people. Lastly when watching your story it reminded me of how much God cares for us that even though this tragic accident happened you had a neighbour who was able to assist you in such an amazing way it was miraculous. To be able to think clearly & act appropriately in such a situation shows more than what nursing training can give you, God surely sent her to you and worked through her to save your life. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and to many future allied health professionals.
Hi Mac and Gayle,
You visited me in my tiny flat in Bellevue Hill not long after Gayle’s accident.
Great website. Well presented and worded. Very professional!
Regards,
Kali
Hey Mac & Gayle, awesome website! I watched your colt at Warwick and don’t think there is any better about. I am looking forward to breeding one and hopefully purchasing one for a stockmen’s challenge’s and a drafting horse. If you could let me know if a nice filly becomes available.
Best regards,
Dave Winter
Hi Gayle & Mac, I love your Australian story and the beauty of recovery and your journey. I too have an amazing health journey and would love to connect with Gayle somehow. My website is http://www.jodiesjourney.com – I am friends with some of the Australlian story crew. It is great to talk to our women who have a story to share. Blessings 2 U….Jodie Guerrero (www.jodiesjourney.com)

Hi Gail and Mac. Gail, I am not sure if you remember new from rocky grammar. You are often in my thoughts. I think you are an amazing person. Best of luck for you and Mac in the future. xx
Hi Mac and Gayle. congratulations on the good results on the southern run at the drafts. Daddy is racking up the good runs this year. And especially a big congratulations on a fine sale result at the MAGS sale aswell. They were an impresive line up of bulls. Keep up the good work. And a very great job done on the web site.
Cheers Ashley and Kerri
My family was up at Warwick on the seekend and we watched One Moore Daddy have his runs. We were very impressed and would love to breed to him in the future. He had the most lovely head carriage and looked amazing. We don’t have many horses and are committed to breeding elsewhere this year but we sill definitely love to breed to him later on. I love the website, it looks great. Congratulations on having such a lovely horse.
Hello Gayle and Mac. My name is Ros and I work for Child protection in Melbourne in the after hours service, and have done so for the past 15 years.
Sometimes late at night, I get the opportunity to watch Australian Story on my computer, listening in on my littel earplugs.
Tonight, I watched your story (again!) Over the years I have watched it a couple of times and have wondered how you are getting on. Seeing this website is testament to what an amazing person you must be and what a great fella you have in mac. I have been married to my childhood sweetheart for 25 years, and although we have not had to face anything like what you two have – whenever I see your story, I am reminded how lucky we are to find true love and to be loved in return.
I wish you all the best in the future on your wonderful property with your lovely horses.
Kind regards
Ros Welsh
Wonderful to see an impeccably bred stallion that is really starting to put the runs on the board, but still reasonably priced. I am impressed by OMD and cant wait to breed to him. COngratulations on a great site and best of luck, will catch up soon.
Hi Gayle
