It’s been a couple of years since we rodeoed at the A&P Grounds in Wairoa and sadly, our time has come to an end there BUT, new grounds and new plans are underway and all will be revealed soon!

The weather gave us a little bit of a run a-round until the main performance but a really vocal and enthusiastic crowd came through the gates and were treated to some great action. Results of the day here and a wrap-up story from this event tomorrow.
