We'd love to offer pony rides but our previous owner and pony is not available.
Is there anyone local who may have some "spare time" and a quiet gentle pony suitable for children to ride - any time that suits between 10-1 would be wonderful.
For more information please phone 0274996096.
Thanks so much - Judy Wood for the Te Horo Hall committee.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.
“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”
