Sad news for family who run EventStars in NZ

Many of you will know that Monica Spencer’s horse Artist was originally retrained and rehomed by EventStars. EventStars has also restarted many other TBs who have gone on to successful eventing careers, mostly in New Zealand. They are really wonderful advocates for TB aftercare and TBs in sport.

The 10 year old son of the family who own EventStars was killed in a terrible accident over the weekend, and his father, brother, and another child were injured.

I don’t know how accessible this is outside of NZ but there is a Givealittle:

"The Schick Family have been overwhelmed and extremely grateful for the outpouring of love and support shown at this extremely difficult time.

In lieu of any flowers or food the family has asked anyone who wishes to make a contribution, kindly make a donation to this Give a Little page. Rod, Oli & Jack who were rescued at the scene would love to personally distribute all funds to the amazing emergency services, Cambridge Fire Brigade, Hato Hone St John Ambulance and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Trust who were truly amazing in our time of need. A huge thanks also to our local Police who were fantastic.

Our love, thanks and gratitude go out to them all"
