Information for Media and Photographers

We welcome registrations from photographers and media keen to cover the New Zealand Three Day Event Championships (NZ3DE) at Taupo (May 10-12 2024).

There is always plenty to photograph and write about, and we are anticipating superb fields once again this year at a very special venue sporting incredible courses. 

The National Equestrian Centre in Taupo has limited media facilities, so those wishing to file from the event should ensure they have their own internet option.

Our people are second-to-none, and happy to help in any way with information and advice.

Photographers will be asked to supply the event with six images each that will be used on our own website and Facebook pages, and possibly for promotion in the future. They will not be shared to a third party.

Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you.

Spectator and General Information

The Olympic sport of Eventing (also known as Horse Trials) is the equivalent of an equestrian triathlon where the three tests of dressage, cross country and show jumping are completed by the same horse/rider combination. Eventing is a discipline at which New Zealand has excelled with numerous Olympic and World Championship successes. It is also one of a handful of sports where men and women compete on equal terms and the genuine amateur can compete against a World or Olympic Champion.

The New Zealand 3 Day Event is the finale event for the New Zealand eventing season that runs from September to May. It is where the senior National 3DE titles are contested – the Wills Trophy, the Picadilly Trophy, the Mamaku Trophy and the Thomson Trophy, along with the National Young Event Horse Championship – The Mary Bowling Memorial Trophy.
