Volunteering at Napier Riding for the Disabled
I have been a volunteer at the Napier Riding For the Disabled for over 3 years. I have had quite a few different experiences, helping with horses and leading clients, working on the grounds, mucking out, fundraising and being part of the committee. Now I mainly run the muck pile and a garden. I have found the experience very rewarding and enjoyable. The team at the Riding for the Disabled, managers and other volunteers are very friendly and supportive.
They are still looking for more help so that they can reach more children and adults with physical, intellectual, emotional and social challenges by interactions with horses.
There is more information on the RDA website.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
