Welcome to the Pass Wide & Slow NZ BLOG!
Your stories matter. We are sharing stories from our local and international community to help decision makers understand how and why they must take horse rider and carriage driver safety seriously. We all deserve to be safe, we all have families, communities to return home to.
We encourage everyone to share our blogs and if inspired, to write a blog and submit it to our team for publication.
Keep checking back regularly for new stories!
