  • Katherine Macdonald from Warkworth was the very proud winner of the sought-after Auckland Insulation dress rug and Challis Trophy riding her 13 year old Mighty Heights gelding Livanto BHS, ticking off her goal of winning a rug.    Katherine grew up riding at Pony Club aon cheeky ponies.   Katherine returned to riding as an adult and has recently partnered with her lovely horse Livanto BHS bred by Karen Teague.  Katherine is looking forward to getting out this season to a few more show jumping shows and horse trials.  The winter series has been a great confidence booster for Katherine who would like to continue to step up in heights.   It was Katherines first attempt at the winter series and she was full of praise.  Her daughter also gave the x-bar events a go and made some new friends in the process. “The event ran seamlessly and on time which is very rare - so kudos to the organisers. Our judge was always encouraging and positive which really helped to create a supportive and positive atmosphere.”   Katherine would like to thank her ever patient husband as well as the, organisers, judges, volunteers, and of course Auckland Insulation for their sponsorship.     Horse Challenger Series      1st Katherine Macdonald Livanto BHS 2nd Casey Richardson-Mould Sunday's Spell 3rd Brooke Knight Willis Apollo 4th Tess Frost Cassinki Xtreme 5th Phoebe Rees-Williams Flopsie 6th Abby Linton-Price Together in Paris

  • Lucas Bremner (15) from Northland is our Auckland Insulation Open Pony Series Winner.  Lucas and his 12 year old gelding Triple star Curious George are very deserving winners, traveling 3 hours each way to get to Woodhill Sands to compete – so some serious commitment here! George (as he is known at home) has been in the Bremner family since he was a rising 4-year-old and has previously competed to Pony Grand Prix with both of the Bremner boys.  Lucas has been Show Jumping competitively since age 8 or 9.  He hopes to be competitive in both the Junior and Young rider Series this season as well as competing young horses in the age group classes.    Lucas has really enjoyed coming to Woodhill Sands for the Auckland Insulation Winter Series.  He is often seen helping out with the course build despite the long commute.    “The team are always so helpful and very accommodating. The courses are great, the arena surfaces are great, and the new parking by the covered yards makes a huge difference.  I would like to thank Auckland Insulation for sponsoring the series, the team behind Waitemata Show Jumping, Angela, the Judges course designers and gate stewards without you these days aren’t possible.  I would also like to thank my sponsor Dynavyte NZ, all my horses are powered their great products and my horses look and feel amazing.  Special thanks to Jeremy Clark for giving me the opportunity to ride his Special mare Cancion HSH”.   Open Pony Series           1st Lucas Bremner Triple Star Curious George 2nd Francesca Bishell Galaxy Disco Fever II 3rd Kim Milmine Woody 4th Holly Richardson Pacific Dream 5th Casey Richardson-Mould Ngatotara Fortune 500 6th Zara Main Blue Crush

  • Our Auckland Insulation Open Horse Series came down to the wire with a count back being required to find the winner.  Sophia Maud (14) from Okura was our eventual winner with runner up being Victoria Mitchell and Fifty Shades HS.  Sophia rides her 15.3hh skewbald mare Soho (known as Willow at home) who is by Brewed Too Hot out of Rosabella.   Sophia has been riding since she was five and attends Wainoni Park Pony Club.  She has quickly forged a partnership with the experienced Willow, who she has only owned for two months, so a very impressive win.  Sophia describes Willow as having an amazing technique and being a very straight forward honest ride.   Sophia has also competed her first hack ‘Boss’ in the winter series, it is her second season competing in the Show Jumping ring.   Sophia is aiming to compete around the North Island this season in the Junior Rider Series and has found the Auckland Insulation winter series to be great experience. “Competing against a large group of talented riders really challenged me. It was great for me to get my horses out competing in the winter so I can get ready for the season.”  Sophia would like to thank Auckland Insulation and Show Jumping Waitemata for putting on the event as well as her coach Daniel Blundell and her family and friends for their support.   Open Horse Series       1st Sophia Maud Soho 2nd Victoria Mitchell Fifty Shades HS 3rd Daniel Blundell Cadenza NZPH 4th Charlotte Treneary FH Monte Carlo 5th Emily Ramsden Highlight BHS 6th Zania Slabber Impavido Chilli

  • Our Auckland Insulation Pony Challenger Series winner is 12 year old Adison Hall.  Adison and her 18-year-old Section B Welsh pony Fordlands Springvale Ambassador, known as Tane at home have been together for just over 2 years.   Adison started her riding career with a shared RDA pony Millie who she shared with her best friend Zara McDonald.  Zara placed 3rd and 5th on her two ponies.   Adison attends Wainini Park Pony Club where she has completed her D & D+ certificates, the pair are working towards C certificate this season.  Earlier in the year the combination competed at HOY in Category B Show Hunter.   The Auckland Insulation Winter Series has completely cemented Adison’s love for Show Jumping.   Her goals for the season are to complete a clear round at 90cm.   This will likely be Adison and Tane’s last season together before she progresses onto her new pony.   “I would love to thank David Collett for his wonderful enthusiastic coaching, Angela and the amazing crew at Woodhill Sands, a massive thanks to Waitemata Show Jumping for running this fun and supportive series and most importantly the wonderful sponsor Auckland Insulation for their generous sponsorship.”     Pony Challenger Series       1st Adison Hall Fordlands Springvale Ambassador 2nd Dillon Ranby Midnight Minute 3rd Zara McDonald Farleigh Catterick 4th Grace Mitchell Redcliffs Isla 5th Zara McDonald Mahoe Moon Jay 6th Lulu Kahukiwa Athena of A
