What a great day out on the hills of Kaituna.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported the fundraising trail ride – it was great to see such a strong turnout and so many smiling faces enjoying the course.

Thank you to the landowners of the property’s we were able to use for the ride and parking - your generosity is most appreciated.

We’re incredibly grateful to all of our volunteers who gave their time and energy to make the day run smoothly, as well as the amazing team from the Little River Fire Brigade for their support and presence on the day.

To everyone else who played a part in bringing this event together – from planning to setup and pack-down there was a lot of work go into making it a well planned event - thank you. It truly was a team effort.

We were lucky to have the weather mostly hold off, making for an awesome day out, and it’s safe to say a good time was had by all.

Thanks again everyone!
