SUNDAY and EQUIFEST WRAP!!

What an awesome weekend!! We did 1 final demonstrations on Sunday morning.

4 of our Vaulters won the Dunstan feed photo competition!! Well done guys🤩 thanks to them the horses got some extra delicious treats!!

Then the crew packed up and drove back down the country home!! All the horses the kids travelled very well and we all got home safe and happy.

Thank you again to all the amazing behind the scenes hands, Russle for helping hang everything I the roof and with his light and music crew, didn’t miss a beat. Amy for being at the top of all the major organising, not an easy task but pulled it off spectacularly!! Back stage management did a fantastic job this year making sure we all had the time we needed to practice in the space.

We are so stoked and grateful to be involved in yet another great year at Equifest. This weekend sparked some inspiration in our crew and reminded us how professional and skilled we perform as a group.

Watch this space as we get ready for our next circus and equestrian show that we are now planning for end of February!!🥳✨🕺🏽

A big thank you to Pelorus Area Health Trust for their support!!

We received funding at the beginning of this year to go towards vet fees to maintain top health for our treasured horses.

Our horses provide so much for our local community to a wide range of ages and abilities. It’s essential for them to be functioning at their peak to be able to offer all that they do.

From Vaulting for therapy, Vaulting classes, pre school, birthday parties, Holiday programmes and riding lessons!! They are the core of our club and all these wonderful activities.

We are grateful for your support, thank you. Here are all our stunning 4 legged teammates!!

We would like to make a special thank you to Waikanae Community Board

Late last year we received a generous fund to go towards one of our wonderful coaches salary, Emma.

In that time she has provided several vaulting for therapy rides to a wide range of our disabled community. Run riding lessons, birthday parties, helped with shows, holiday programmes and pre school classes. She helped greatly with general horse care and farm work necessary to keep our club running.

Thank you for supporting her so she can support this amazing club.

Pelorus Area Health Trust have just given us funding for a new work computer and earlier this year for vet bills. Blue Sky for some Nova power Bills. One Foundation Limited for Autumn farrier services for our horses.

A special thank you and appreciation for Pub Charity Limited. They have been our biggest supporters this year, from the help towards our new float to a massive sum towards Hay and Feed for winter.
