Brock, ‘Traducer’ from New Zealand Country Journal.4:1 (1880). A Social and Cultural History of the New Zealand Horse A Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History Massey University, Albany, New Zealand Carolyn Jean Mincham 2008 i Abstract Both in the present and the past, horses have a strong presence in New Zealand society and culture. The country’s temperate climate and colonial environment allowed horses to flourish and accordingly became accessible to a wide range of people. Horses acted as an agent of colonisation for their role in shaping the landscape and fostering relationships between coloniser and colonised. Imported horses and the traditions associated with them, served to maintain a cultural link between Great Britain and her colony, a characteristic that continued well into the twentieth century. Not all of these transplanted readily to the colonial frontier and so they were modified to suit the land and its people. There are a number of horses that have meaning to this country. The journey horse, sport horse, work horse, warhorse, wild horse, pony and Māori horse have all contributed to the creation of ideas about community and nationhood. How these horses are represented in history, literature and imagery reveal much of the attitudes, values, aspirations and anxieties of the times.

  • Volume 8 Number 033 Phar Lap Lead: Despite a Heroic Past, Australia Is
    Volume 8 Number 033 Phar Lap Lead: Despite a heroic past, Australia is a nation with few real national heroes. Few would deny, however, that one of them was a big, red horse named Phar Lap. Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: In his youth, Phar Lap, whose name in Thai is the word for “lightning,” did not seem a likely prospect for heroic status. The gelding was born in Timaru, New Zealand in 1926, bought for about $336 and arrived in Australia, painfully thin, with warts all over his face, and lacking very much elemental grace. His trainer, Harry Telford, however, believed he had the makings of champion. Phar Lap was of large sturdy construction and later was found to have an enormous heart of near freakish size. He could sprint and also hang in there for the distance. Around the stable the horse was known as Bobby, and there he met his soon-to-be inseparable companion, stableboy Tommy Woodcock. After a slow start in 1929 Phar Lap began to place, and by September was judged to be the favorite in most of the races in which he was entered. He won so often that he began to skew the betting odds, costing the book makers a massive hemorrhage each time he won. Prior to one race in November 1930, someone pulled alongside Woodcock and Phar Lap as they were returning from warm-up and tried to shoot the horse. The bullets missed but only after Woodcock threw himself in the path to protect the horse.

  • PACO BOY’S Availability in 2011, We Jumped at the Chance
    2011 WAIKATO STUD PACO BOY HONG KONG CHAMPION SHAMROCKER ROCKIN’ THE RECORDS AMBITIOUS DRAGONPhoto courtesy of the HKJC IT IS A LONGSTANDING PHILOSOPHY AT WAIKATO STUD TO SEEK STRONG FINISHING SIRE PROSPECTS. WELCOME TO As seen with CENTAINE, O’REILLY and PINS, it is a policy that has served us extremely well, so when we learnt of the international triple G1 winner PACO BOY’s availability in 2011, we jumped at the chance. The GREEN DESERT line sire fits ideally into our selection criteria. Following on from early two-year-old success, PACO BOY achieved a remarkable three- year-old season, only ever starting in quality black-print races. His seven outings at 3 resulted in five black-type wins and culminated with G1 glory in the G1 Prix de la Foret. Renowned for his blistering turn of foot, he finished his racing career WAIKATO STUD with three international G1 wins and the distinction of 8 group level victories. Beyond his vital ability to quicken and compete at the highest level, he confirms our commitment to the future. We believe we have no future without the assurance of ownership. You, our customers, are entitled to feel confident of continuity. Continuity it would seem is something we are pretty good at. In the WS brochure a decade ago, Garry wrote: Waikato’s senior stallion Centaine has done it all, right through to passing the half century mark in stakes winners. His two-year-olds show their class from day one with maturity they carry their form through to the “highest level, and lately his broodmare daughters have been continuing the G1 tradition.
