Nup to the Cup 2025
Racing towards a kinder future
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 💚
What a day! Together we showed that celebrations can be joyful, compassionate, and cruelty free.
Because of your support, we welcomed 1,845 attendees and raised a total of $6,235.63 through raffle tickets and gold coin donations. This will be shared across 11 charities and not for profit organisations, with each receiving $566.87 to continue their essential work for animals. 🐴💕
Your compassion made a genuine impact. Thank you for standing with horses, for choosing a celebration without exploitation, and for helping shape a kinder future for animals everywhere.
Together, let’s race towards a kinder future, where animals are celebrated, not used. Here’s to all of you, and to the growing movement that proudly says Nup to the Cup.
With compassion,
Kat & Mike
