Jotunheim Percherons

Beautiful morning out with my pregnant mares. All looking divine.

Always fantastic to see our horses out and about with their owners.

We are honoured to have supplied our Australian-born horse in authentic WWI Mounted Rifle (NZMR) uniform and tack for the capital’s inaugural Purple Poppy Day.

Pukeahu National War Memorial Park is where we remember and reflect on the country’s experience of war, military conflict, and peacekeeping. The park is also a place for memorials from countries with which we share military heritage.

Opposite its historic Carillon Tower and Tomb of the Unknown Warrior is the Australian Memorial. The Memorial consists of a series of red sandstone columns representing the ‘red centre’ and heart of Australia with further Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander design elements.
Inscribed on its central column is the word ‘ANZAC’ to honour our combined force of WWI soldiers, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

It was thus a touching detail to have a NZ rider and Australian horse for this ceremony, further demonstrating the long and close relationship between our two countries.
