 Supreme Led Warmblood and NZWHA Premier Mare or Filly Rosari Ghiotto. |
This year's South-Island Warmblood Championship Show was held on the 8th November, 2009 at the National Equestrian Centre on Mc Leans Island, Christchurch. With 46 entries, we are still continuing to grow each year.
Our judge this year for the In hand and Ridden Section was Kay Harding, a breeder and rider of Warmblood Horses from Australia. For our Ridden Performance Class, we had a Bereiter from Germany who is on holiday in NZ at the moment. This class proved very popular this year with 18 entries, and each horse was ridden by the judge for about 5 min.
