Hardly a surprise that more time is required. Thank goodness they didn't press on with upcoming trials and races. -

How much training and racing would you get for $40,000 for one dog? If you factored in food, shelter, vet work, retraining, desensitising etc and staffing for one retired dog at one of the GRNZ approved kennels to be $40 per day (which it wouldn't be) that's about 3 years of care. A bit like owning a Rest Home, there's a fairly secure job there for a while. If trainers are losing their jobs surely it makes sense to leave the dogs where they are until rehomed, afterall trainers have the facilities and handlers, and come 1/8/2026 nothing better to do. -

Did anyone else read the article which I don't think was from the UK, rather Scandanavia or Europe, about the mother who donated her daughter's pony to the zoo to feed the lions? That particular animal park sourced various horse meat for the big cats via donations through public means. I think slow ones in Singapore used to feed the lions and tigers in their zoo. When you think about it, Orana Park could be a good avenue for unwanted, old or injured South Island horses, and Wellington and Auckland zoos have a whole North Island to supply food for a lot of hungry mouths. -

Yes, she definitely likes to be the centre of attention, and not cast aside for better options. More than a few comments don't add up. What was wrong with the best three from Kaikoura ending up in training? If she selected the most appropriate rehomers at the trainers properties how good is she at her job to still have to put down 30% of those horses as finally deemed unsuitable? As she went on it was clear she'd forgotten her earlier comments with contradictions filtering in. I'm guessing most viewers would have switched off part way through. She was well off the mark with numbers she was quoting and authority practices re traceability etc. I hope she isn't related to the harness trainer of the same name. I think she may have saturated her brain with a bit much Silent Witness in her formative years as she'd have to be the only Horse Post Mortem Technician on the latest Census. Any sanity questions for me were answered quite early in the interview when she explained how one of her horse related injuries was a blow to the head. -

I wondered where Duncan Garner had gone . But I wasted 20 mins of my day listening to this attention seeking loser of a young woman who has decided to turn on the Horse Industry [ especially Harness] cos she obviously unable to take up and earn a living from her passion she developed as a kid ! Obviously she adored horses and developed an interest in re-homing horses. The idea of a charitable trust to fund her interest/passion had appeal ....but she obviously not a team player ,obviously ,cos others never really knew what they were doing ....cos she has been dedicated ,educated , invested in and worked with world class people ....certainly over-intoxicated in her own exuberance but had her nose put out of place when she couldnt get her own way and turned on HRNZ when they chose the HERO program as their official rehomer. This has festered away ! Most of her horrific dramatic story is nearly 3 yrs old...the terrible Donegal case in Kaikoura ,from which she seems to be seething from being pushed aside by the Police,Vets and Govt agencies . She admits to getting a lot of help ,a lot of funding[expected more] etc etc but now seeking revenge since her 3 page Document and informal chat with a vet friend was ignored 3 years ago....obviously she hasnt reconciled and got back on the horse ! Duncan let her talk...then said.....[sounds like widespread corruption ]....put the words into her mouth. Click bait ! What she talking about are isolated , exceptions ,and policies and conventional wisdom that has been developed over the years.More and more checks and balances have been introduced into the Industry over the year , but license holders etc need to play their role and play by the rules and look after the animals .She said the Kaikoura breeder was a troubled person ,ditto her earlier example when a family hit by tragedy ! Exceptions ! Most horses ,in my experience are treated extremely well definitely when racing, usually get happily rehomed when retired ,sadly some go to the dogs !
