With the Taupo World Cup/Christmas Classic moving to November, a prime weekend before Christmas has opened up, and the Auckland group has seized the opportunity! This year, the Auckland Christmas Classic promises to be a festive and fun-filled event for all.

Event Highlights:

  • Lower Pony Classes: To make it a true Christmas show, we’ve added lower pony classes for the little ones.
  • Spot Prizes: Thanks to our generous sponsors, there will be plenty of spot prizes for the best outfits throughout the weekend.
  • Fancy Dress Table C: The Site Land Development Fancy Dress Table C on Saturday evening has grown each year. This year, we’re also including a 4-bar event for ponies.
  • Series Classes: Hosting most of the series classes, including the TiES Equine, with expected entries around 450 to 600.
  • Age Group Style Classes: On Friday, these classes are well-supported and offer a great opportunity to jump young horses in the main ring at heights lower than the breeding series classes.

Special Features:

  • Sponsor Luncheon: A highlight for many, our sponsor luncheon is a fantastic opportunity for networking while enjoying the jumping events.
  • Food and Drinks: No need to bring your own food! Fiber Fresh will host a welcome Sausage Sizzle on Friday evening, and there will be a BBQ and Cocktail Cart on Saturday night.
  • Pet-Friendly: Your fur babies are welcome at Pukekohe!

Paula Mussen, Chair of Auckland Show Jumping said, “the Pukekohe A&P committee has been incredibly supportive, backing the date change and starting irrigation last week to ensure the grounds are perfect”.

Mark your calendars and join us for a weekend of fun, festivities, and fantastic equestrian events at the Auckland Christmas Classic!  Entries are open now on EvoEvents.

We can’t wait to see you there! 🎄🐴
