Meet Jo Starr, Operations and Engagement Manager, who was employed by the Trust in a part-time role in January. Jo worked behind the scenes as a volunteer for two years before that and has skills and experience in management, communications and fundraising. 

Jo's role is to help raise awareness and funds for the charity, and coordinate the operational needs of the service. 

Last year Jo led a community fundraising campaign that raised over $100,000 to help #CompleteTheFleet of nine horse ambulances. 

She says, "the best thing about being involved with the Trust is knowing that you're doing something practical to help horses that are injured in competition. 

I want to help change people's perceptions about equine sports like racing. The people I've met through this role love and care for their horses. Without the horse we have no sport."

In 2020 she was a Finalist in the NZTR Award for Contribution to Media, Digital & Content, finishing in the First4 with Te Akau Racing.

She loves thoroughbreds, and can be found on the occasional Sunday helping the Marsh Racing team at Riccarton Park Racecourse.
