New Zealand Horse Ambulance Trust

New Zealand Horse Ambulance Trust

Promoting and protecting the well-being and welfare of New Zealand's racing and sport horses.

Nationwide

The NZ Horse Ambulance Trust operates a fleet of ten horse ambulances that were funded by the community.

Our mission is to promote and protect equine welfare, and to assist the well-being of New Zealand's racing and 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.

Equine veterinary surgeons designed the units, and the NZ Veterinary Association supports the Trust along with NZ's leading equine hospitals.

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.

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.
