TEARFund

Sweeeeet.

Today we had another meeting with TEARFund mainly talking about media/press release related stuff and design too for posters and such.
We are nearly at the point where we are beginning the sponsorship process as well as beginning to fund raise for our horses and gear needed for the trek. Some huge expenses include: food for ourselves, food for the horses, inter island transport, petrol for our support vehicle, vet checks and farrier bills for the horses etc etc etc The list goes on and on and on! We are also beginning to plan our route! It's very exciting looking at all the places we will be going. Google earth/maps rules!

On our website under 'can you help us' we have lists of equipment that we need so if you could help us by donating or selling camping/horse equipment to us, please get in contact at hoofprintsforhope@hotmail.com

We would love as much of our equipment to be donated or second hand (to reduce our 'hoofprint' ;)

Oh, we have great news. We have free grazing next year! From a college of my mums. Praise the Lord! Bring on our horses.

Will update again soon

Good news, good times.

Hey all!

It's been a while since updating this blog so I thought I'd pop one through with some photos too ;)
As you know from the last post, Brent and I are recently engaged and so Hoofprints is to become our honeymoon!
We have had some more great news too. We have been offered the use of a horse trailer by our friends further down the north island...! and we have free grazing for next year meaning we can start raising money for our horses!
Plus, Kerrin and Genna are being so generous offering their time and precious horses for us to ride, they've even thrown in a few things for our journey which is such a blessing. Genna and Kerrin, if you are reading this: We love you! As you can see, they have become good friends to us. It's so cool how this adventure is already creating so many connections with people that we would have never anticipated!
We have even had some offers of horse equipment for the trek which is just incredible.

Praise God!

Anyway, here are some recent photos for you :)Enjoy and please contact us if you wish, we would love to hear from you: hoofprintsforhope@hotmail.com









God bless!

Blessed are we.

I love how Hoofprints is all unfolding. Even though it is so far away, it is comforting and exciting knowing that is happening for certain! Even as we creep slowly along with plans and ideas, we know we are being led closer and closer to this dream. People are stepping out and supporting us/offering to help and it's all such a blessing. We are feeling more and more support from all around us and it's an incredibly warm feeling. We truly are blessed.
This week I've started to sell some things that I hold very dear to me in order to get some money for the trek. Brent is really excited about riding which is awesome. I think he's incredibly brave, what an amazing person to want to do this with me. We are already browsing horses in anticipation of the ones that we will buy for the trek! I hope some grazing comes through for us soon! The sooner we get our horses, the better.

Just a quick blog I know. Update coming again soon ;)
Thank you for all those who are following our story. We appreciate it, remember you can email us at hoofprintsforhope@hotmail.com. We would love to hear from you!

I'm finally riding!

Hey all, these are some pics of me riding 'Falkor', our friends Genna and Kerrin's horse. They acheived 'Down Across & Up' in 2007 which was a fundraiser for CanTeen. Check out their website at www.downacrossup.com. Hoofprints is all becoming so real now.








Blessings,

Brent
