𝗡𝗘𝗜𝗧 𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗣𝗦 𝗔𝗩𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 - 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘!
Great news from NZEHA! Thanks to a generous initiative from NZ Thoroughbred Racing, 1,600 microchips have been made available to the NZ Equine Health Association for use in non-racing horses. These have been distributed to veterinary clinics around the country through Approved Implanters registered with the NEIT system.

With many members currently in the process of identifying horses for breed registration, now is a great time to take advantage of this opportunity.

Simply ask your local vet whether they are an Approved Implanter - they can microchip your horse and register it on the NEIT system. The microchip itself is provided free of charge, though a consultation or implanting fee may apply, so check with your vet clinic for details. If you already have a vet visit planned for gelding or branding, it's the perfect time to get it done. Follow NZEHA on Facebook:

𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗝𝗨𝗠𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 | 𝟱* 𝗚𝗣 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗲
Katie Laurie may have just claimed another slice of New Zealand history this morning, winning the CSI5* 1.60m Rolex Grand Prix at Spruce Meadows – Continental – in Calgary, Canada.

The 30-strong start card was whittled to just two combinations – Katie with Django II and Sameh El Dahan (EGY) aboard WKD Balou Breeze. The Kiwis won with a double clear in 46.28 seconds.

“I got a bit teary after going in clear in the first round,” said a very emotional Katie. “It feels so good.” She opted to give Django the winter off to work on his fitness and didn’t rush him back early in the season. “I have always had so much faith in him,” she said.

In the jump-off this morning, Katie said they had jumped fences one and two in a nice pace but felt they were a little slow to three and four. “I thought we’d just go for the clear, so we jumped conservatively and clean. He was just so good. He is an awesome horse.”
Katie says Django’s style may not be the most perfect way of jumping, but his goal is simple – don’t touch the poles.

“I never thought it would ever happen,” said Katie of the 5* win. “It is amazing.”
The combination have another 5* at Spruce Meadows next weekend. “He is fit and feeling great. We are ready for a big summer ahead.”

Earlier in the show Katie and ZF Chacco Rio placed seventh in the CSI5* 1.50m class. They were one of seven combinations who came through to the jump-off, which was won by Mark Bluman (COL) aboard S&L Haquinsa, ahead of Conor Swail (IRL) aboard Theo 160.

Congratulations Katie and connections 👏🌿🥝
