The Kaimanawa Heritage Horses 2021 National Show, held on Sunday, 14th February at Pongarosa Equestrian Centre in Pukekohe was a fun-filled day enjoyed by those who were able to attend this year. Although numbers were down from previous years, we still had a great turnout of well presented kaimanawa horses who were able to show why these horse can excel in domestic life.
Congratulations to all of our competitors for doing such a great job with your kaimanawa horses and for supporting our annual national show.
Thank you to Marten Bearda for the photographs.
