Using horses to enrich the lives of people in our community

Manawatu / Whanganui

Be it Covid, family issues or just life's speed bumps we have some riders unable to pay their outstanding rider fees. We keep fees as low as possible by fundraising and applying for grants. We currently have 5 riders that have become unable to pay so we are looking for sponsors to help clear their fees.

We continue to offer our programme to these riders because of the benefits they receive keeps them physically active and able to remain connected to the community. The benefits can sometimes even be the difference between chair bound and ability to walk and participate on different levels.

About us

We provide horse based programmes to help people in our community. Benefits of working or being with horses can improve peoples social skills, physical capabilities and also has psychological and educational benefits

Use of funds

The money will go towards the riders needing financial support to continue to participate in their riding programmes.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
