$3,395 of $18,500 goal
Given by 28 generous donors in around 4 months

Help me to achieve a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete on the NZ team and represent New Zealand.

Whakatane, Bay Of Plenty

Recently at the NZSCH National Show in Taupo my Horse Trevalda Mountain Breeze and I qualified to compete at the prestigious Show Horse Council Grand Nationals in Sydney, Australia.

Breeze is a 10 year old NZ bred Irish Sports Horse, I have owned her since she was a foal, along with many Championship wins in our last and current competition season she is the current Rising Star Saddle Hunter Champion at the Horse of the Year Show in March 2024. We now have this once in a lifetime opportunity to represent our country.

The Grand National Championships, has evolved into a highly acclaimed event that brings together some of the best show horses and ponies from across Australasia to compete.

The event runs over four days and two nights with three UK Judges providing a fresh opinion to those competing.

The majority of the money raised will be to pay for Breeze's return flight to Sydney. Sadly if we are unable to reach our target we will not be able to attend.

Use of funds

A once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of the NZ team competing at the Grand National show in Sydney. If we don’t make target amount, I will try and fund the shortfall myself.

Fundraising chaos  21 February 2025

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, fundraising has been in full swing, with a huge push at our local horse trial last weekend where my wonderful hubby Chris cooked his way through $1700 of burgers and bacon &egg rolls, not to mention my famous brownie!! Most of the trip details are coming together now, flights, accomodation , entries, stabling all booked! Horse and human uniforms have been ordered and I’m now starting to introduce Breeze to her Australian menu! Obviously there are no complaints from her, she’s Irish, food is food!!! More fundraising sausage sizzles this weekend, and next weekend we are packing up and heading to HOYS!!! Thank you to every single person that has donated! We still have a way to go, but you have all helped us get a step closer to achieving our dream 🤩 THANK YOU from me and Breeze.
