North Island All Breeds In Hand Horse Show, 2009

January 2009 marked the 6th year in which New Zealand’s Haflingers competed at the North Island All Breeds In Han Horse Show.  The numbers of haflingers in the country have certainly increased from the year in which Lee, Lorelei and Rianna made their first appearance at the show, competing against Clydesdales in the Heavy Horse section, as there was no other class for them to enter.

This year, for the third year in a row, the Haflingers were competing in their own class, and there were 6 Haflingers that turned out.  Suzzi, shown by Colin Reid, Lee, shown by Kelly Anderson,  Oo-La-La shown by Stephanie, a friend of Petra’s who was over from Germany, Rose D’Amour shown by Petra Matheson, Restless, shown by Simon Bell, and Lilian, shown by Dawn Millar.

A great day was had by all, and congratulations to Petra and Rose on taking out Grand Champion Haflinger Horse for the second year in a row!
