January 2012 Show Results
Ground conditions meant a change of ring areas for the show with our Pony SH being held on the grass, which unfortunately meant no warm-ups for ponies.  Well done to all the pony competitiors for managing this situation. On the bright side this meant that the ground held up pretty well over the two days.  Weather wise we seemed to experience four seasons in one day on the Saturday!!  Congratulations to all our competitors and especially to our placegetters.

Your 4 digit ID tag must be worn, we will not be issuing back numbers unless you are competing using day membership so please make sure you don't forget your ID tag!!!!

If you have an outstanding entry fee balance please come to the office to rectify this before you compete.

Please have the correct change for warmups ($2 per round, pay at the gate).  

This year we will be posting out prize money to the address on your ESNZ registration form.  If this is incorrect please let the show secretary (Louise Blair) know as soon as possible.  Preferably before the show by emailing showhunter@slingshot.co.nz.

If you are staying on the grounds please DON'T use an empty covered yard unless you have paid for it.  If you are not staying overnight but want to use a yard during the day you can do so by paying for a yard for the day $5.
Tags for this are available in the office.  

There is a large scale cycle race being held in the Auckland region on Sunday morning.  The route is not along State Highway 16, however it does cross over at the Taupaki roundabout, so take care and watch out for bikes and extra cars along the way.

New division for summer shows - there is now a new division for horses called LOW HUNTER - 70cm - 80cm.  Open to all horses regardless of previous experience. Combinations entering in the Low Hunter classes at that show may not compete in classes higher than 80 cm. A rider or horse may compete in other classes/divisions at the show, however, not as a combination.  These classes will be eligible for prize money, however you will need to be a member of ESNZ and your horse will need to be registered.
