hi TwinCreekNZ, great idea to give goods and not cash. that is a much better idea, and i wish we in australia had the foresight to do the same. you'd hear a lot less criticism of the financial statements released by the charities......good on you for the work you do with the horses. many years ago i bought a trotter when i was staying in NZ-just to ride around whilst i was there. a great way to see the countryside! but a year later, when it came to leave,i couldnt bring myself to leave him behind, so he came back to australia too. lived tillhe was 34 years old, and woulb have gone on a lot longer if he hadn't slipped and fell in a hilly paddock.the vet that put him down said he was in great condition otherwise,looked like a racehorse, all shiny-coated. it broke my heart to have him put down but hed' damaged his back and even the vet couldn't get him up...on a brighter note x trotters make great pets/pack horses for people who like to go hiking/trecking, they are so quiet. cheers, Simla
