Showjumping - Horse of the Year

Showjumping

There are four Showjumping arenas that will be operating from Tuesday 17th March through to Sunday 22nd March. These arenas cater for all degrees of ability and experience, from the under 12 year old pony class through to the professional Grand Prix Showjumper who would be able to compete favourably against the world’s best. The skill required to successfully complete these courses is immense, as the competitors follow the track, set by the Course Designer who will always have some design methods to test both Horse and Rider. No matter what level you are competing at, the respective Horse of the Year title is their ultimate aim.

Competing beside New Zealand’s best, will be riders from South Africa, Australia, and hopefully a few of the world’s best from Europe , America and Asia. Against these riders a number of the top combinations from across the Tasman will be competing. All adding to the value and excitement of this “Celebration of All Things Equestrian”.
