⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

I bought this saddle in Australia and sadly have never used it, my loss is your gain …

This is a beautiful saddle with lots of great features:

* soft and comfortable
* finest quality suede synthetic used
* solid brass fittings for durability
* perfectly balanced panels for a happy horse
* solid, long life wooden tree

It’s genuinely brand new, never been near a horse. It’s been stored in the house, on a saddle rack, with a cover on it.

The stirrup leathers are real leather with numbered holes, the irons have a spot on them from being in storage, I haven’t tried to get it off, but have supplied full photos, the girth is 88cm long as shown in the photos.

In Australia these are going second hand for around $500.

Pick up from Te Kowhai or Rototuna.
