And that’s a wrap!
The last horse has left the stables, Bangalow Temporary Equine Hospital has officially closed its doors.
The last flood affected horse Paddy left yesterday afternoon with some very sad and teary volunteers saying goodbye.
Yesterday all the horses left Bangalow showgrounds to either go to foster carers or to new paddocks to continue to recover.
We would not have been able to rescue and support 15 flood affected horses without the help of some very special people and businesses that went above and beyond to help us. A big shout out and thank you to:
The caretaker Shane at Bangalow showgrounds for putting up with us and letting us use the grounds.
Our amazing vets volunteering their time that put the absolute best care into all the horses recovery.
Dr Nikika Stibbard
Richmond River Equine Veterinary Services
Dr Megan Kearny
Vitality Vetcare
Dr Rhian
Gold Coast Equine Clinic
All the vets from Vets For Compassion
We would like to also thank our local produce stores who worked hard to always have what we needed.
Newrybar Produce & Saddlery
North Coast Stockfeeds
Kristen Bates-Taunton for all your efforts and supplies you went above and beyond helping supply everything we need which a lot came out of your own pocket.
Everyone who donated money, feed, and supplies, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and you are the back bone for getting these horses recovered and back to their owners that were affected by the floods.
Finally, to all the amazing people that volunteered their time along the way, The Bangalow Dream Team is something we will remember forever.
I know personally (Krystal) have made some new friendships that I will forever value.
Thank you again!
