Kia ora whΔnau,With heavy hearts, we are sharing that Actifun Horse Riding Whanganui will be downsizing our incredible team of therapy horses after more than 30 years of serving our community.
These horses are not just horsesβ¦ they are teachers, healers, confidence builders, and quiet companions to so many riders over the years π
π΄ THE OPPORTUNITY
We would love to see these special ponies continue their journey in:
β’ Riding for the Disabled programmes
β’ Equine-assisted therapy programmes
β’ Community riding organisations
However, we also recognise that the perfect home may be a private one β with someone who can offer the love, care, and purpose these horses deserve.
So we are opening this opportunity to both organisations AND the wider public.
