Pony rides at Boneo Park this Saturday 🐴

@peninsulaponyparties will be here this Saturday 24th October from 1pm to 4pm, offering pony rides for a gold coin donation and raising money for @thekidsfoundation There will be three ponies to ride, plus one pony for the kids to get hands-on with. They can brush the mane, add clips and bows, and enjoy some special time together.

If you don't feel like lunch, come for the ponies and a drink. If you do feel like some food, we have kids menus that include delicious food, a drink, an activity pack and a soft serve ice cream with lots of fun toppings to choose from.

So get the kids out of the house this Saturday, tag other parents who might want to join you, and we’ll see you at Boneo Park.

Looking back on an incredible night of comedy for a fantastic cause - raising funds for @thekidsfoundation to support burns and trauma survivors, and people with rare genetic conditions.

The latest Comedy Sanctuary show was everything we hoped it would be!

Thanks to people purchasing tickets to the show, buying entries to the raffle, donationing to our fundraising page during the show, and the comedians generously donating their performance fees to the cause, this show alone has officially raised…

Drumroll please 🥁🥁🥁

💥 $766 and 66 cents!!! 💥

This goes towards our team goal of raising $3000, as @mnkn__ , @anna.louey and I head to the @noosatriathlon next weekend!

We had nearly $900 of in-kind/donated goods and services which helped us get to this total from just one event, so thank you to
@somasnctry, @miniyama.au, @mcleod.janet, @michael.patrick__, @nabi.oracle as well as @antrop for the photography and @abigailvidler for inspiring us all with a sit-down interview to talk about all things KIDS Foundation and possible Paralympics stardom!

You can still contribute by hitting the donate button via link in my bio, and I’ll be launching an online silent auction in the coming days.

Thanks so much for everyone who has shown their support so far. Not even the gross gravel rash on my forearm in the second photo can stop us from going for gold and raising as much as we can 🏆

A first look at what’s coming to Caulfield this spring! 🏇✨

Yesterday we welcomed media to Caulfield for a preview of the 2026 Sportsbet Caulfield Cup Carnival – and the countdown to the historic 150th Caulfield Cup is officially on.

From @mjzahra27 and the racing action, to @zacharymerrett07, @oliviamollyrogers and @demibrereton bringing the race-day style, plus a look at this year’s entertainment, Pin & Win with KIDS Foundation, the new Food Lane and a first taste of Beverly – there was plenty to see (and eat).

A huge morning with the @melbourneracingclub team bringing this year’s Carnival to life for media ahead of Guineas Day and Caulfield Cup Day.
Now for the real thing!

@tourdhorse is the official charity partner for the carnival this year, and I was so lucky to have been part of the Tour d’Horse earlier this year with them. I’m really excited to see it being supported throughout the carnival.

🎀💕

If you buy a @thekidsfoundation pin and win this year, all donations will go towards supporting kids and families who have experienced, and are recovering from, traumatic and life-altering experiences and injuries.

Popped past @joeyscandizzosalon for hair touch ups! Him and @chantellebaker have a pop up again this year for all your Raceday glam needs.

Reality of getting ready 😅

Obsessed with how this dress showed up in lighting yesterday.

@heidiwilsonmakeup on the tools

See you this Saturday at the Caulfield Guineas!

A little bit proud of this one 💗

The MRC Foundation supported more than $500,000 worth of charities and community organisations across Victoria in FY26, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see the impact that support can have.

As we head into the Sportsbet Caulfield Cup Carnival, I’m especially excited to have KIDS Foundation as our 2026 Pin & Win Charity Partner.

In my role as Chairman of the MRC Foundation, I’ve been lucky enough to get to know the work of the KIDS Foundation more closely through Tour d’Horse, and they do such an incredible job supporting children and families affected by serious injury and trauma.

This year’s Pin & Win campaign also features a very special limited-edition Half Yours pin. This is extra special as both jockey @jamieleemelham07 and @demi_mcevoy and @jo_mcevoy of McEvoy Racing have been great supporters of the KIDS Foundation and Tour d’Horse.

So if you’re heading to Caulfield over Sportsbet Caulfield Cup Carnival, keep an eye out for one of the pins. You can help the MRC Foundation support a brilliant cause and be in with a chance to win over $10,000 worth of prizes at the same time!

Small pin. Big impact.

Pony-powered calm 🐴💚

Our 3- and 4-year-old kindergarten children at Jenny’s ELC Soldiers Hill welcomed some very special visitors as part of their exploration of emotions — the @thekidsfoundation and gentle ponies Carm and Eleven!

After learning about safety and different ways to manage big emotions, the children spent time patting, brushing and simply being close to the ponies. Through these quiet moments, they explored how connecting with animals can help our bodies slow down and help us feel calm, safe and connected.

A beautiful hands-on experience supporting emotional awareness, self-regulation and wellbeing. A big thank you to the K.I.D.S Foundation — and, of course, Carm and Eleven! 🐴💚

Comedy Sanctuary - Fundraising Edition! I’m putting on a very special showcase on Fri 16 October 🌊☀️

All proceeds will be going towards the @thekidsfoundation and our relay team’s goal to raise $3000 as part of the @noosatriathlon.

Longtime friends and followers will know my connection to KIDS as a teenage burns survivor. I’ve been an ambassador for the charity since attending my first camp in 2016 and it’s been a few years now since I’ve fundraised for them, so it’s time to get back into it!

I’m very excited to have some of my funny friends on the line-up and as per usual there will be raffles, games and an interview with aspiring Paralympian (and fellow KIDS Ambassador @abigailvidler!)

Link in bio if you want to laugh for a good cause 🧡

A look back on our Open Day! While weather didn’t play its part, we had a great turnout of owners and supporters of the stable 🤍

A big thank you to all that attended, our host Ally Mosley, our fantastic staff, and the horses who braved the conditions during their parades. We were delighted to have @thekidsfoundation with us on the day as well, an incredible organisation we were involved with this year through the Tour d’Horse.

We look forward to seeing you all during the Carnival! ☀️
