Welcome to the Horse of the Year

The event that has grown to become one of the largest and most prestigious annual equestrian events in the Southern Hemisphere.


The Horse of the Year mission statement is:
"To provide one huge event in which all competitors, young and old, and from all equestrian disciplines, can compete. Being held at one magnificent venue, its aim is to create a true celebration of the equestrian art. Our mission was also to provide Hawke's Bay people with an event that they would be proud of and happy to support."

Each Year our attendance and sponsorship increases, highlighting the importance of the show in New Zealand and around the Southern Hemisphere.

The 2011 Event Organisers would like to thank everyone involved with the year's show for an outstanding event - we look forward to 2012
