RALLY FOR RICKY π
Today we want to take a moment to acknowledge someone who has been a very special part of our stable for many, many years β Ricky Cook β€οΈπ
Ricky isnβt just our farrierβ¦ heβs a close family friend and a great mate who has stood alongside our stable through countless seasons of racing.
For years Ricky has been there every single morning at the Pukekohe track, helping keep our horses in the very best shape; from the hot summer mornings to the cold, wet, and stormy winter ones. When something unexpected has happened, he has never hesitated to answer the call β whether thatβs a Sunday, a public holiday, or an emergency when a horse needed him most. Time and time again, he has shown up without hesitation and never once let us down.
Ricky has always taken enormous pride in being the farrier for our stable and for our ownersβ horses. His work has always been first class, and he treats every horse with the care, patience and professionalism they deserve.
What has always stood out to us is Rickyβs kindness and loyalty. He has always been incredibly fair with his pricing and has consistently gone the extra mile to make sure every horse receives the best care possible. He has always shown genuine respect and appreciation for our wonderful and loyal owners, and that is something we have never forgotten.
Right now Ricky is going through a very serious illness, and during this incredibly difficult time we would love for our owners, friends, and supporters to show Ricky the same care and support that he has shown our stable for so many years.
If you are able to, please consider making a donation to Rickyβs fundraising page. Every contribution, big or small, will mean a great deal to Ricky and his family.
Thank you Ricky for everything you have done for our stable and our horses over the years. We are all behind you. β€οΈ
Please also feel free to share this post so we can help spread the word and support one of the truly good people in our industry. π
A loving and meaningful way to raise money for a good friend who needs our help
