Where are the horses?

On the 3rd of May 2007 we started our journey circumnavigating New Zealand armed with three horses, a cameraman, and a tent. We travelled over 5,000kms to fundraise for CanTeen (a charity that supports young people living with cancer) and film a documentary (Down, Across & Up). The journey took us exactly one year to complete as we finished on the 3rd of May 2008. It raised over $33,000 for CanTeen. Here are some short clips we streamed over the internet to update our progress as we made our way around the country, as well as an amateur clip and a current affairs item about us.

These clips are not taken directly from the documentary and some footage on here is exclusive only to our youtube page. The documentary was filmed in High Definition. All of the original music in both the documentary and our youtube clips is by Jamie Collier. We have also written a book about the journey which is being published by Random House. The documentary and the book will be released in June 2009.

We made it to the South Island, but at what cost?
