From our Chairman, on behalf of our committee. It’s official, the horses and trainers have competed in the Major Milestone and we have been left speechless by what the trainers and their gorgeous Kaimanawas’ showcased to the public over the past weekend at Equidays. To the trainers, without your involvement every horse in the line-up would have been slaughtered five months ago and we so value the horses being given a second chance at life. The horses all looked happy, and the bond they have with their trainers were obvious – thank you to all the trainers for the time and love they have invested into them. For the sponsors, thank you for being part of this event and making it all possible. CopRice Thoroughbred Floats Saddlery Warehouse WashBar TuffRock Horse & Pony Magazine Equidays Horse of the Year: Thank you to the judges. We had three judges, with a great depth of knowledge and talent. Two international clinicians, two world champions, and all three judges specialising in different disciplines, the trainers work was knowledgeably scrutinised. Thank you also to our announcer Michelle Potts for your professional presentation. We were especially impressed by the comradeship between sponsors, trainers, Judges, KHH and the public – the friendships that are being formed are remarkable and working together we have created an event that truly highlights the trainability and beauty of our nations wild horses. We could not have ever imagined the support our horses were given, including the public that stood out in the rain for the Meet and Greet on Saturday. A huge congratulations to our winners, in our eyes everyone involved are absolute champions. Thank you to Tracey Thompson and family for bringing Beauty and Spirit of Kaimanawa (aka the Brat) who entertained the crowds for hours throughout the weekend. We are very pleased with the success of our very first wild horse event; a lot of thought went into the organisation to ensure the event was run smoothly. The Stallion Makeover at the Horse of the Year show will be an even bigger event and we look forward with great excitement.
