A Huge Thank You to everyone who came to our Event last month.
Thanks to the Team who sent personalised cards to the Committee & Landowners & the many emails & Facebook messages we have received. Some good news, our back number was returned from the Team who’s parent had a wee slip down the hill during the event. She obviously has a great sense of humour as it was sent back in a Waikato Hospital bag😂.
Here’s hoping for a quick recovery & we hope you enjoy the little something we sent you 🥂.
Looking forward to next year’s Event….any thoughts or ideas please send us a message.

Another of our big sponsors that you heard about on the weekend was Pegasus Floats NZ.
They supplied the items in the Riders/Yarding pack #2 Raffle, Tack box, stirrups, Rake & the Bluetooth Speaker along with Waimakariri Studs Solo sprayer
Some of the other fantastic prizes awarded at prize giving were the Microfibre Towels, Green Leadropes, Feed Scoops, Balaclavas for those frosty winter mornings, Stable bags, Saddle blankets, rider socks and the rechargeable toothbrushes.
Unfortunately all of their Floats in stock had sold but a new shipment is due any day.🐴

And the Timberlands team behind the scenes that bring this amazing event to you.
Julie, Kim, Bianca, Vanassa, Lana,Koos, Casey, Jason & Corey. With Leanne & Carmen fueling them all. With Janice, Fiona & Emma on Gear Check, our announcer Steph and Monique wrangling our younger members who collected the score sheets & helped at prize giving.
To our Mounted Marshals Dani, Amber & Jenna who lead our Teams in & oversaw the riders walking home from the XC. Also Tony from McLaren Contracting who delivers & returns the yards for us.
Without these amazing people none of this would be possible.
The landowners Cullum & Mandy were very impressed by how spotless the farm was left …not 1 bit of rubbish left behind, Thank you.
To the Officials Rhys, Linda & Ian and Tanja, Wendy & Brenda, Thank you for making our Event a success. See you all again next year 🏆🎉

Unfortunately we found a computer glitch that meant the Top XC cup was awarded to Warkworth instead of the Otorohanga Buzzy Bees.
This has now been corrected and a huge Thanks to Fran & Team Warkworth for being so understanding and showing us what the NZPCA Fair Play charter and Sportsmanship truly looks like🏆
Congratulations Team Otorohanga on being the first XC cup winners on Zero points 🎉

Credit where credits due - unfortunately there was a wee mistake on Evo and - YES WE STILL WON THE 2026 TIMBERLANDS TEAM EVENT

BUT

Our lovely friends at Otorohanga Pony Club and the Buzzie Bees team were the winners of the Cross Country Cup, we don’t want to take this win away from you and your riders so well done!!!!

We will deliver your beautiful cup to you at Pegasus Cup next week 😍
