Obviously it’s been a challenging week for a number of people including our thoroughbred industry friends in the Hawke’s Bay region.

It will take months to recover on a number of levels however, we as an industry are looking to provide some immediate relief via a partnership between NZTR, Dunstan Horse Feeds and the NZTBA.

The partnership with Dunstan, administered locally, will deliver feed to the region and be dispersed amongst those with equine requirements. While our trainers and breeders based in the region will be first beneficiaries we will also be supporting the wider equine community.

The amount of feed provided will depend on donations made. Therefore, we are asking you to donate any amount possible into the following NZTR account:

01-0517-0063944-07 – please use  “Cyclone Appeal” as the reference.

NZTR are allocating $50,000 to this cause.

Donations will be accepted up to 12pm Friday 24th February, at which time the funds will be transferred to Dunstan.

We thank you for your show of support which will make a huge difference to those affected in the Hawke’s Bay region.

The thoroughbred industry is well-known for supporting each other in times of crisis, let’s step up and help those in need.

Kind regards,

NZTR/Dunstan Horse Feeds/NZTBA
