Morrocco Arabians

Arrived at the farm 09/06/2026

Some great shots from the DRNZ Waimeha Enterprise Cup last weekend 🥰 thanks Kerry Rowe Photography!
Shiloh & JayDee were both entered in the 160km but unfortunately it wasn’t their day.
Amotion successfully completed her first solo Enduro 40km for 3rd place 🥉

It’s been a long while since we did an update, but the Morrocco Arabians team has had a great start to 2026!
At the DRNZ PioPio event Rivervale Shiloh was 1st in the Enduro 40km with SS Silas 2nd & Morroccan JayDee 1st in the 40km RTT
The DRNZ Waimeha Mandate Cup saw us with 4 80km completions this time with Morroccan JayDee 2nd in the Enduro Saturday, Morroccan Amotion 3rd in the RTT Saturday, Rivervale Shiloh 2nd in the Enduro Sunday & SS Silas 3rd in the Enduro Sunday.

It’s fair to say that the 2025 DRNZ Championships were a true test of endurance, not only physically but mentally.
Greg & SS Silas successfully completed their second 160km together, in an epic ride time of 19hrs 25mins. Battling dramatic weather & big country, a true test of horsemanship was shown.
This is Gregs second 160km buckle and Silas’ 5th 160km completion, giving him a 100% completion rate over that distance.
Silas has competed in 7/8 DRNZ Championships with the following results:
120km Youth Winner
160km Senior Q
160km Senior Winner
160km Senior Winner
160km Senior Q
120km Senior Winner
160km Senior Q
One incredible horse 🐎

Well what a weekend! Another Championships and another season over
And what a mixed bag it was!

Saturday didn’t go as planned for our team, with Shiloh unfortunately vetting out after loop 2 (80kms) of the 160kms due to icy conditions, and JayDee getting line honours in the 160km, only to not pass the final vetting.

With even colder conditions on Sunday, Silas had a very enjoyable 120kms. This horse was amazing all day and took out the 120km Enduro Championship title, to make that his 3rd Championship title in 4 years.

All in all a great weekend away with family, horses and friends - until next time 🥂
