Support Mina’s dream
Help Mina after tragedy
Auckland
My daughter Mina worked incredibly hard for years and years to make her dream of owning a horse come true. In December 2023 she made her dream a reality when she found Bill, the perfect horse for her. We brought him to Meadowbank Pony Club and they developed an amazing bond and grew together as a show jumping team. Mina kept working hard in her part-time job alongside school and Pony Club time to pay for the vast majority of expenses related to him.
He was her whole life and focus.
On September 1st the unimaginable happened - Bill had to be euthanised in front of our eyes, in very traumatic circumstances.
Whilst we will never be able to replace Bill, and we will never forget him, we would love to support Mina to find another horse to continue competing and being immersed in PonyClub life. We want her to keep believing that hard work pays off and that when life throws a tragic curveball at you, there is also love, support and generosity around.
Thanks for your support.
