The surprise
After a long flight, starting at the base in Redfern, a suburb of central Sydney, the agents showed up in the hospital aboard Hollywood and Don. Rita, who said she was the first female police officer on horseback in the UK when she was 20, was moved and stunned. “He found that wonderful gesture – his son Robert Barnaby said – he couldn’t believe these cops had found time to drive for five hours, back and forth, just to see her and make her smile.” In fact, Robert said the mother’s condition is very serious and the woman cannot leave the hospital. For several days she had said that before her death she would like to see a horse again, to beat him. But it seemed like a practically impossible task. Until yesterday, to surprise NSW police officers.
“I shed many tears and created wonderful memories – I wrote in a Facebook post, Meredith’s son-in-law, Emily Sykes – accompanied the lovely agents Hollywood and Don, and they definitely made Rita and Woody’s day better. They answered all our questions and let Rita beat the horses and give them some apples to eat. “
