St Peter's Equestrian

A few highlights from NISS Taupō 2026! 🐴

What a great few days for our Equestrian team. So proud of all our riders and their horses, and the effort they’ve put in.

Team spirit and camaraderie are high and the whole team are enjoying this awesome event. Thanks NISS! ESNZ Community 🐎

The equestrian team got to take part in a tree planting today with All Together Safer Eventing NZ.

Over 100 trees were planted. 🌳
It was a hands on way for the riders to leave a lasting mark for equestrian sport, while helping make it a safer environment for everyone who competes after them.

It was a perfect way to stop and remember the realities of our sport.

A huge thank you to the organisers, Tuwharetoa and the Campbell family for including us in being able to pay homage to this incredible facility and our sport as a whole.

A few moments from Day 1 of our St Peter’s riders competing at NISS this week! 🐴

We’re so proud of our students getting out there and giving it their all! It’s been awesome to see all the hard work and training coming together.

Our team were also lucky enough to be gifted rugs for their horses, and we’d like to say a huge thank you to our generous sponsors:

Hi all,

Just an update regarding the use of St Peter’s Equestrian:

St Peter’s Equestrian Facility – Strangles Biosecurity Notice

Due to the recent confirmed cases of strangles in the Waikato area, we ask all riders using the St Peter’s Equestrian facility to take extra care and follow good biosecurity practices to help keep our horses and community safe.

Please do not bring any horse onto the property that is showing any signs of illness, including (but not limited to):
Nasal discharge
Coughing
High temperature
Swollen glands
Lethargy or being generally unwell
Until further notice:
Only the bottom yards are to be used.
If using yards, please leave an empty yard space between horses where possible.
Do not allow horses to have direct nose-to-nose contact with horses outside their usual group.
Do not share water buckets, feed buckets, hay nets, gear, or equipment between horses.
Please clean up after yourself and leave facilities clean and tidy.

We ask everyone to use common sense and good hygiene practices. Strangles is highly contagious, but careful management and responsible horse owners make a huge difference in reducing risk.

All riders enter and use the facility at their own risk. While precautions are being taken, each owner/rider is responsible for the health and management decisions regarding their own horse.

Thank you for helping protect our wider equestrian community

Regards
Dna Wells
Head of Equestrian.

Big thank you to my helpers for the day. Olive-Rose Gofton and Alisha. Lucky there was lots of lovely rounds so not many poles to pick up.
Looking forward to the next event.
