Kaitlin and her team have had a very busy November! Read below her latest update we have received ✈️🤩

Darcy, Jack, and I travelled to Christchurch to compete in both racing and showing. Darcy raced in the New Zealand Cup and Prelude, placing 2nd in both off the back marker, as well as winning Best Presented on Cup Day.

Jack competed at the NZ Summer Spectacular, where he won Champion Arabian both led and ridden, placed second in both the Child’s and Open Show Galloway, and finished in the top six in the Pony Paced & Mannered Championship. He also competed at the Christchurch Royal A&P, where we came away with Champion Paced & Mannered Show Pony, Champion Led Derivative Arabian Gelding, and Supreme Champion Led Arabian.

After Christchurch, we headed back up to Auckland for a quick swap to pick up Denny before driving down to Taupō for the NZ Show Horse Council Nationals. Denny placed 4th in the Led Hunter Galloway and 6th in the Ridden Hunter Galloway. Jack was 3rd in Intermediate Led Turnout, 6th in Led Show Galloway, 5th in Small Show Galloway, and 4th in the Musical Gala out of 20 competitors.

I was also lucky enough to get a ride on a horse called Quita (owned by Steph Marshall) in the Child’s Hunter Hack class, where we placed 3rd.r
