Futurity History

NZRHA Futurity & Open 2008

Many thanks to the Waikato Western Riding Club who allowed us to hold our events in conjunction with their championship show in December 2008. It was brilliant to see the NZRHA up and running again, and this is only the beginning!

The Futurity purse was sponsored by the NZRHA, feed vouchers sponsored by Mitavite to all placegetters. And a beautiful headpiece and reins sponsored by Ian Saunders Custom Saddle Maker, Australia.

The Open was a jackpot purse with feed vouchers from Mitavite for all placegetters. And a headpiece from Ian Saunders.
