ALL BREEDS FOAL FUTURITY Class FF This year we are changing the Foal Futurity slightly, to give more foals a chance of entering. Previously we have got people to enter their horses as foals, however this year we are changing it so that the first year that foals are entered will be when they are yearlings which will give more people a chance of entering them if their foals are due to be born after the show. Previously foals have been entered the year they are born and quiet often it has meant that foals aren’t born before the show so can’t attend. For the foals that were entered in last year’s show they will be judged on for 4 years. The next ‘new ‘lot of entrants will have 3 years of judging. This competition is open to all foals born since August 2009. These classes will be judged by a panel of judges scoring each foal out of a maximum of 10 points and is an ongoing competition for the next 3 years. i.e. Yearling, 2year old, 3 year old. Each year your foal will be judged by a panel of judges, culminating at the final futurity when your foal is judged as a 3year old. Awards will be made on the day judging but the points will carry forward from year to year. The winner will be announced after the foals 3year old judging. Points belong to the animal so go with the horse or pony if sold during the competition. Points each competition 1= entering 1= parading 8= First 6= Second 4= Third 2= Fourth Entry Fee $20. A once only fee payable as Yearlings. No further fee each year for foal futurity classes. This is an extra special class. No late entries. You must enter your exhibits as yearlings A special presentation will be made in the main arena to the winner of the 2010 foal futurity.

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.

    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The management of Miniature horses at pasture in New Zealand A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy (without specialisation) at Massey University, Manawatῡ campus, New Zealand Sheen Yee Goh 2020 Abstract Studies on the demographics, feeding management and health care practices of Miniature horses in New Zealand have yet to be conducted. Thus, the aim of this study is to describe the demographics, feeding management and health care practices of Miniature horses in New Zealand. To achieve the aim of this study, an online survey was conducted using the Qualtrics Survey Software. There were 232 valid responses from respondents who kept 1,183 Miniature horses, representing approximately one third of the New Zealand Miniature horse population. Miniature horses were kept for leisure and companionship (56%), competition (35%) and for breeding (7%). The median number of Miniature horses kept by owners for leisure and companionship was significantly lower (two horses) than those kept for competition (six horses) or for breeding (ten horses) (p<0.05). The majority (79%) of Miniature horses were kept at pasture on low (<1,000 kg DM/ha) to moderate (~2,000 kg DM/ha) pasture masses across seasons. Pasture access was more commonly restricted by respondents during spring (60%), summer (60%), and autumn (55%) than in winter (43%).

  • Horsemeat Production in Australia and New Zealand
    Horsemeat production in Australia and New Zealand 1. Introduction Horses in both Australia and New Zealand are not raised specifically for food production. It is estimated that there are approximately 1.2 million horses in Australia, including around 400,000 feral horses known as brumbies.1 FAO statistics for the New Zealand horse population are far lower with 57,427 horses being recorded in 2013. Horse numbers have fallen significantly during the past few decades; in 2003 there were 80,397 horses recorded, but by 2011 this had decreased to 56,505.2 There are also feral horses in New Zealand, known as Kaimanawa horses.3 As illustrated below, horsemeat production in New Zealand has remained relatively stable over the past fifty years. In contrast, Australian horsemeat production increased significantly during the early 1980s and following a brief dip during the late 1980s, it remained stable until 2005 when production began to increase once again.

Follow television stars Vicki, Kelly and Amanda Wilson on their quest to train 10 wild, difficult and sometimes dangerous Kaimanawas for competition in the first national Stallion Challenges. All trainers impressed the judges with what they had achieved with horses less than a year out of the wild. Peterson Paperback 4. Stallion Challenges: From the Kaimanawa Wilderness to the Show Arena From the author of the bestselling book For the Love of Horses, comes an epic new journey to rescue wild Kaimanawa horses from the biennial cull. Showtym Adventures 6: Pepe, the Beach Stallion. Share the heartbreak, the pain, the elation and the success as they take on their greatest challenge yet. Kelly writes in a way that captures the reader right back to their childhood, or sets the scene of their adventures as adults with the wild horses. For many years, the New Zealand equestrian community has viewed the adoption of a wild horse as an act of charity rather than desiring a Kaimanawa horse for their qualities and value. If this perception could be changed through a competition, it would show the NZ public not only what skilled professionals could achieve with these horses, but what they too could aspire to, and how wild horses could fit into their own equestrian goals.
