NZ Industry gets behind cyclone support

Media Release - Thursday February 16

The thoroughbred industry are looking to provide some immediate relief for those affected by Cyclone Gabrielle in the Hawke’s Bay region via a partnership between New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, Dunstan Horse Feeds and the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association. 

Administered locally, the appeal will deliver feed to the region and be dispersed amongst those with equine requirements. While trainers and breeders based in the area will be first beneficiaries, they will also be supporting the wider equine community.

The amount of feed provided will depend on donations made which can be deposited 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.
