The day coincided with severe heavy rain and storms in New Zealand. Despite the bad weather, this heartwarming event went ahead smoothly. The children arrived as planned, playing joyfully in the rain and feeding the ponies. A variety of meals were also provided on site. Unfazed by the wet weather, everyone still enjoyed a wonderful time together. The event raised a total of NZD $500 for GYNZ's horse rescue programs, demonstrating the power of public welfare through warmth and perseverance.
