The Shady Trade: A Horses Second Chance

  • 2014 Update

      24 June 2014

    Thank you to everyone who help save the horses in 2013 that were destined to be slaughtered into meat. This is just an update to let you all know how they are doing All of the 4 mares that we saved via The Shady Trade have all had their beautiful wee foals and are proud mums to healthy bubs. We also helped save two wee miniatures who are both doing really well and are starting to be trained into great little riding ponies. Also there was Alan, a stunning Standardbred gelding who is thriving with the TLC he deserved and he loves being the fuss and attention he gets now We are now asking for help with costs towards winter hay and feed costs. If you have a spare $2 to help towards this it would be very much greatly appreciated :D

    After the fantastic amount of support, all horses but one have the funds for purchase, and a home to go to! Just one little fella remains, a black colt. We are seeking the help of $300 for his purchase and $50 for transport up to Auckland with the others. Thanks to the donations direct, and through give a little, we have saved a total of 9 lives, with private buyers purchasing the other 6. Amazing!!
