Well done to all our wonderful talented Vaulters!!

Saturday the 23rd we held our team Vaulting competition!! This included all levels of Vaulting with our 6 fabulous teams competing against eachother.

The theme of this competition was country’s.

Each team dressed up and represented a different country. Each team performed a round of compulsories followed by a team freestyle.

They were all judged by Frida, one of our previous coaches visiting from Germany!! Each team was amazing and we are all so very proud.

Last Thursday we held the prize giving seperate to the competition to all get together, celebrate and enjoy a social evening.

We handed out all the prizes for the competition, special prizes for the Vaulters that stood out this term and a mid year report that included students being promoted to higher teams.

We are so grateful to have such a wonderful supportive and talented community!! Well done everyone and thank you!!

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.

Funding appreciation!!

We have received some great funding this year, Waikanae Community Board funded part of our instructors wages - Emma. Waikanae Club helped fund a new hay steamer. 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.

We wouldn't survive as a club without all the amazing support we get from our community.

Thank you to Laura who puts in so much time and effort towards the applications for the club. Also, Thank you to all our other sponsors and local businesses that are behind the club!!
