Here for the Horse Winter Appeal | 1-10 August 2024🐎

Across codes, across breeds, across disciplines—we’re #HereForTheHorse.

From race day initiatives to an auction of unique experiences on gavelhouse.com, a raft of activities will support the New Zealand Horse Ambulance Trust's winter appeal.

New Zealand is world-leading with its national dedicated horse ambulance service and charitable trust—like St John or the rescue helicopters, but for horses.

A horse ambulance attends close to 700 race meetings, trials, and selected equine events annually in New Zealand, safeguarding the well-being of our equine athletes. Designed and built in Mosgiel, the equine ambulance has significantly improved outcomes for horses injured in competition and training.

The Trust’s experienced operators work closely with the race day or event vet to safely transfer an injured horse to the nearest equine hospital, treating every patient with care and compassion.

Please support our winter appeal to raise funds and awareness for our vital service.
