I have been supporting the Multiple Sclerosis Society for the past 5 or so years, after having a family member suffer from this disease. I also support the RSPCA because I have a love of animals. I think if we all try to support at least one needy cause, and there are many, no matter how big or small the donation, it would benefit both the giver and the receiver.

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
