Jesse Linton & D Silver MS, Winners of the Pakuranga Hunt Inc Open Horse 1.20m

Pakuranga Hunt
The oldest Hunt in New Zealand, the Pakuranga Hunt, was established in 1872, with their imported hounds becoming the foundation of bloodlines here in New Zealand. Such an amazing atmosphere to be out hunting with the hounds. Thank you, Pakuranga Hunt, and their amazing secretary, Angenita Moore!

The Pakuranga Hunt recently sponsored several classes at local shows - Auckland Show Hunter Group's 2025 Pukekohe show, and Whitford Pony Club's ShowCross at Conmara Estate. It was great to see some of our own members placing in these classes, and for our committee members to be on hand, congratulating the winners. Well done everyone who competed, especially to the winners and placegetters!
