Secondary Schools Equestrian Cup

The New Zealand Secondary Schools Equestrian Cup [aka the Interschools] enable younger riders and their team mates to enjoy taking part in different equestrian disciplines.  This hugely popular event is held in association with New Zealand Pony Club, Mounted Games and School Sports NZ (NZSSSC).  It is held at the Fiber Fresh National Equestrian Centre, Taupō, and the Dunstan Horsefeeds National Equestrian Centre, McLeans Island, Christchurch. 

Strengthen & Adapt

Strengthen & Adapt is a Sport NZ programme working through the eyes of passionate equestrians who are contributing to the plan for a stronger future.  Three themes include:  One Equestrian Voice by advocating for the sport;  Supporting Riders to Ride by providing events that are inclusive and non-competitive;  Strengthening the System recognising the role the wider community plays, and in particular, Volunteers.  

TiES

The Thoroughbreds in Equestrian Sport programme (TiES) is proudly brought to you by New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing, and was established in 2014 to demonstrate the versatility of the breed and increase the uptake of retired racers into equestrian sports.  Thoroughbreds gain points in eligible classes across the season in the disciplines of eventing, dressage/para-dressage, show jumping, show hunter, and endurance and competitive trail riding (CTR).  The programme is funded by the 1% levy on stakes.
