Program Details
We are a small farm looking after 30 critically endangered native ponies, 3 bigger rescue ponies, 4 rescue dogs and 18 rescue cats . My partner got very ill over 2 years ago and heartbreakingly died in March 2025. We have been given a donation of materials to help us improve and update our volunteer accommodation new doors and windows and kitchen cupboards have already been completed . Now we need some help with winter proofing our 2 cabins. Alongside of this to help build a new simple horse coral , helping pay some new water hose, and some Field shelter maintenance before winter sets in.
