Friday at Equidays

Fun and action from the competitions, demonstrations, clinics and tradestands at Equidays' opening day

It might have been Friday the 13th, but it was a great day at Equidays. Here are some super shots from Mendip Farm Photography, and the results to hand.

See you there tomorrow and be sure to visit us at Trade Stand D10. If you take out a new sub or renew your current one at Equidays, you will be in the draw to win a $7000 Central Otago High Country Trek for two! We also have our popular Wheel of Fortune back, so you can give it a spin to go for an additional great prize!

How very lucky are we in New Zealand to be able to learn from Kyra Kyrklund, Olympic Dressage Rider (Finland). She honed in on riders’ positions and use of aids – changing the rider to influence the horse. “They feel a fly, so don’t need hard aids.”
