Happy new year! We hope that you had a great festive holiday season. It certainly was for us with a whistle stop tour bringing the Love Racing Summer Bar to the races in New Plymouth, Taupo and Tauranga over Christmas and New Year. We loved our time on the road and look forward to joining you at more fabulous events over the summer months.

RACING NOW! A picture perfect day at the Te Rapa Racecourse was a great way to kick off our summer season! The 'NATION On The Hill' Bar at the SkyCity Hamilton Waikato Cup Day was a blast. We can't wait to be back for Legends Day in Febraury. Thanks for having us!

From October through until to April NATION had THE BEST TIME being part of The Grand Tour NZ. And what a tour it was! 19 race meetings from Auckland to Christchurch and a lots of stops in between! Thank you to all the fabulous people that we met and worked with along the way and to NZ Thoroughbred Racing for organising such an amazing Festival of Racing. We loved every minute of it!

FINALLY we get to support an event in the sunshine after a very soggy and dismal start to the year! We are VERY excited to be at the hugely successful Derby Day at Te Rapa Race Course today and look forward to returning soon!

Crankworx Rotorua 2016 was our first introduction to this awesome event and we have been priviledged to have been part of it ever since. It was great to be back at Skyline last month and to catch up with all the fabulous people involved in putting this event together after far too long. We truely feel priviledged to be part of the team. We can't wait to see you again in March to do it all over again!

Hi Everyone
Thank you so much for your patience and enduring goodwill whilst we worked through all possible scenarios for Land Rover Horse of the Year 2021 during NZ’s ever changing Covid19 situation. We know there is huge support for us to go ahead however there are many factors we have had to consider.
These include financial implications for our show and its ongoing sustainability, the travel and time pressures for riders, the experience we can deliver for our riders and spectators, and most importantly of all, the health & wellbeing of everyone who attends the show. With that in mind we have made the heart-breaking decision to cancel the 2021 show. This is not a decision we have made lightly, particularly when the majority of our expense has already been incurred, however we feel it is the right thing to do for our riders, stakeholders, exhibitors and spectators.
We are truly devastated and send all our best wishes to our Land Rover Horse of the Year family from all corners of New Zealand.
Riders & Exhibitors will receive direct communications about next steps.
Rest assured we already have 2022 firmly in our sights and will come back bigger and better than ever. Much love and thank you again. 🐴
