Winter is coming! Keeping bellies full in Te Horo for HUHANZ

Te Horo, Wellington

Winter is coming! To support HUHANZ to feed their animals during winter, I would love to keep the bellies full and raise money to feed the required 2x hay bales per day for three months to support their Te Horo horses. I have volunteered with this team for the last two years and it has been a wonderful experience. Hay is always the highlight of feeding time. Currently with 10 horses in Te Horo, HUHA needs around 2 bales per day to feed the hungry bellies.

So, for my 35th birthday ahead of winter, I want to raise funds to look after our horses during the colder months. I will be jumping out a plane to promote this initiative and would love to be able to tell TJ, Bailey, Heidi, Belle, Tinks, Scary Spice, Pepe Le Pew, Barry, Maia and Juno that they will be able to have full bellies all throughout!

Thanks so much for reading. Happy to provide personalised photos and videos of the happy and fed horsies!

I survived! Skydiving sucks   10 May 2026

Hi friends,

Arohamai for my absence! Since we returned from the sky diving trip, it’s been back to normal life at full speed.

I owe you a skydiving video! Holy moly, that sucked. I will never do it again, but at least I can take it off the bucket list now. Thanks heaps to Diego, who was my tandem partner and helped to make the experience as pleasant as possible. Who would have thought that plunging towards the ground from 15,000 ft height at 200km per hour wouldn’t be enjoyable!

You should be able to view the video below. Please feel free to have a laugh at my expense at the silly faces 😊

Just returned from my day with the horses and told them all about the yummy hay they’ll be enjoying this winter! Unfortunately, we currently have three sick horses with coughing, abscesses, and sore feet due to the soft ground. This means your donation is even more appreciated, helping to support HUHA with funds so they can focus on getting our horses the veterinary care they need. In more pleasant news, our very own TJ was adopted the other week and has departed for his forever home. I’ll miss him – no one to push over the wheelbarrow of poo anymore!

Thank you again for your generous donation. I truly appreciate it. We have gathered a massive 115 hay bales, which covers the majority needed for winter (184). If you feel inclined to share this link with friends and family, please do so.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou mō tōu manaakitanga.

2% Effective Fee
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.
