  • Pawarenga sports day 2017 on my 14yr old thoroughbred. Never having competed in this race i was very nervous before it. But once it was over i was over the moon with excitement and adrenaline

    I love those type of videos, u can clearly appreciate to make the difference between good riders, riders, and someone who just know how to stay on the back of a horse and destroy his mouth or slap him or put him in dangerin order to know *how to ride* and respect the safety principe

      Agreed, my previous horse was a little bush pony the locals rode from Opotiki and they really didn't treat him well at all😔 Instead of getting a proper bit and bridle for him they just used some bale twine and wire as a bit and bridle and almost cut his tounge off 😔 as well as shove him in some random paddock after they would take him for a gallop down the beach. I know ot everyone does this but its a shame to see such good horses treated like that. Well done btw, I'd love to do that race, I've been up and seen it before but it would be a total mission getting my boy and I there all the way from the Bey of plenty

    Those island horses inch per inch are fast, great competitors for their size, very game horses with such heavy burdens. The one decided better without not a bad idea till learned some positive encouragement rather than slapping an already full-out running horse, that makes no sense.. The thoroughbred took it all in gentlemanly stride.
