NZ's Puhinui Horse Trials 2014 has just finished yet another very successful and fun event, and this year the weather gods laid on the sunshine - a fair amount of sunburnt people were wandering around
Thanks to the hard working team of organisers and of course the very generous and loyal sponsors of each class !!!
Sadly I could not ride this year, but had a enjoyable time catching up with some great friends , and was busy doing my usual task of videoing some of the smart horses for sale to show our clients .

It was great Jonelle and Tim Price could make it .' Jonelle is currently the No 2 Event Rider in the World which is tremendous and we are VERY proud of her !!!! they even rode in the " high jump" competition one evening much to everyones delight. Tim managed 1.60m bareback and shirtless !!!
Additional international flavour..... UK event rider Nick Gauntlett campaigned his new ride "El Grado " in the 3* class .

Clarke Johnstone won the HONDA NZ CCI*** dressage to finish with faultless jumping on his stunning floating grey "Balmoral Sensation".
Check out this video of his great XC ride , clear with no time faults . This combination is relatively new, barely 12 months old , and definitely has a powerful and exciting future ahead of them !!!
The CATO PACKAGING CCI** was cleaned up by Katharine Van Tuyl on her super cute ,, mega jumper 7 yo "Double J Sunshine ". Sunny moved up from 9th after dressage to take the lead easily after a bit of carnage in the 2* XC .
The HONDA NZ CCI**Y class was won with confidence by Sarah Young on her well performed "SS Galaxy".
The VERERINARY ASSOCIATES CCI* class was won from the dressage score by " Mi Focus" and Aleisha Collet , foot perfect all weekend.
The DEVI HEATING SYSTEMS CCI*J class was convincingly won by very talented young lass Abigail Long and "BMW Advokaat".
