    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.

    Jumping on here to say thanks everyone so much for your generous donations! With your help we have just reached a milestone of 100 hay bales. That is incredible! This covers the majority of the hay required for the horses during winter and only requires 84 more bales to cover winter entirely.

    The skydyive is looming next week - no nervousness just yet but this fundraising sure helps not getting cold feet. Please feel free to share the link with your friends and family. Any amount helps.

    With your help, we can keep the bellies satisfied. Thank you so much!
