Members of Southern Cross Cutting Horse Sports Present an oversized cheque members of Blayney Shire Can Assist
Blayney Shire Can Assist would like to acknowledge and thank the Southern Cross Cutting Horse Club for their generous donation of $10 138.10 raised as part their Easter event. The funds were raised through the Pink Cutting Event, a highly anticipated feature equestrian event dedicated to promoting cutting horses while raising funds and awareness for women’s cancer.
Blayney Shire Can Assist recently received this donation after being presented with the oversized cheque at the event. Pictured receiving the cheque from members of the Southern Cross Cutting Horse Club are the Can Assist President and one of the Events Coordinators. Blayney Shire Can Assist provides confidential assistance to members of the local community with a Cancer Diagnosis and all money raised in the Blayney Shire is used to support local people. Many thanks go to the Southern Cross Cutting Horse Club for an amazing donation.

What Does a Farmer, a Miner & a Lawyer have in Common?
These three men have a commitment to helping others in the Blayney Shire by raising awareness and money for Blayney Shire Can Assist as they take on the challenge of the Massive Murray Paddle. The Massive Murray Paddle is a 415km kayak race running over 5 days from 16 – 20 November 2026. Michael Parfett, Wayne Taylor and Shane Cunningham will participate in this gruelling event starting at Yarrawonga and finishing at Koondrook (the second longest kayak race in the world) later this year and they will raise funds for Blayney Shire Can Assist while paddling the great Murray River. Michael Parfett, who has completed this challenge before, said, “It was the most difficult thing I have ever done, but definitely the most rewarding.” If you would like to donate to their cause you can do here
