Thank you to everyone who helped and participated in our fundraising have a go jump day at Dunstan Equestrian Centre. We had a ball and the money raised will cover the transport to get another horse shelter brought up from the team at Great Southern in Invercargill.

A big and unexpected surprise this term was the huge $7,000 donation from Alexandra District Club Bowls - Pioneers from the selling of raffles before and during their annual Waitangi weekend tournament. How lucky we are to have community volunteer groups supporting the volunteer work we do!

Nice to meet and greet Penelope Pask from Otago Community Trust

OCT is a long term supporter of our group. We wouldn't be able to do what we do without their support.

Unfortunately it was a dreary, wet day so we didnt get a chance to introduce Penelope to our equine team. Instead we made it look as though we were heading out for a ride 😆😆😆

Poo pickers desperately needed! We are after some help with the endless job of poo picking from now until the end of April. If you can commit to a couple of hours at the Dunstan Equestrian Centre a week, we'd love to hear from you.

Back in the saddle for our first sessions of 2026. A rainbow came out to match our new rainbow poles; a new addition for which we have Sport Otago to thank. Purchase of these poles form part of the Tu Manawa grant that enables us to increase our number of sessions and resources for our budding riders!

We had a refresher training/welcome back morning for our volunteers on Thursday. Looking forward to checking in with our riders on Thur 12 Feb and Fri 13th Feb.
