New Zealand Horse Ambulance Trust
Promoting and protecting the wellbeing and welfare of New Zealand's sport horses.
Nationwide
The NZ Horse Ambulance Trust has funded and operates a fleet of nine horse ambulances. Our mission is to promote and protect equine welfare, and to assist the wellbeing of New Zealand's sport horses by ensuring our response is of the highest standard.
The horse ambulance attends thoroughbred race meetings and trials, harness race meetings, and is available for equestrian events where an NZEVA vet is engaged.
The equine ambulances have a full hydraulic suspension system that lowers the unit to ground level in 5 seconds. When a horse is ill or injured there is far less stress on the animal than having to walk up or down a ramp.
The units have been designed by equine veterinary surgeons and the Trust is supported by the NZ Veterinary Association.
The NZ Horse Ambulance Trust is a registered charity (Charities Services no. CC53589), and donors are eligible for a tax credit.
More about us
The New Zealand Horse Ambulance Trust was established in 2016 for the purpose of funding, procuring and operating a national fleet of horse ambulances. We invite you to join the mission and support our activities that protect and promote equine well-being.
