Here's something to smile about - winter showjumping is back at Takapoto Estate!

The August practice days kick off from tomorrow, Friday and Saturday 👍

These are practice days, so a more casual affair for horses and riders getting ready for the season ahead.

The cafe will be open, the coffee will be hot, and spectators are welcome.

Plus don't forget, Wine Tastings at The Cabana run 11am to 4pm on Saturday!

Strangles (a highly contagious equine illness) is currently on the rise across the Waikato. To protect the horses, we have made the decision to cancel the Winter Training event on 17th and 18th July.

Our August Show on the 14th and 15th will go ahead as planned for now, and we will let you know if anything changes.

July Training Days update 📣

Great news for our pony riders. With school holidays on and more ponies expected at the July training days, we've adjusted the programme to add two pony classes at the start of each day: 80cm and 90cm.

This means correct distances for our pony combinations.

Updated schedule is live on the website and Equipe now:

Entries close Tuesday 14th July (unless full prior).
