A Northland girl who sells horse poo to help pay for her pony can't understand why someone would want to smash up her roadside stall.
Since Christmas 9-year-old Skye Stevenson has been shovelling pony manure into bags and selling it for gold coin donations beside State Highway 10, just north of Waipapa, 7km north-west of Kerikeri.
The venture had been going well and was helping pay for feed for her horse, Delilah, as well as equipment such as a new saddle, until Skye's mum discovered her pony poo stand had been demolished.
Her first thought was that it might have been hit by a wayward car, but closer inspection showed it had been deliberately smashed up and the pieces strewn around the roadside.
Even the plastic money box – which anyone could have simply opened if they wanted to steal the contents – had been smashed to pieces.
