Whilst learning about the Equidays event in New Zealand recently I found myself then guided to the Equestrian Entries website. I had no idea that there was an online resource for horse riders in New Zealand! Equestrian Entries provides details on horse competitions around New Zealand.
You can register to be able to make use of this online resource that allows you to look at events in New Zealand. You can also view your entries into said competitions and the results. Wonderful! To register you’ll need an ESNZ Registration number.
Equestrian Entries for Horse Riders
I love the concept of this site. Now I may be ignorant and perhaps there are such sites for Australia, the UK and US, too! But I love that there is one place you can go to find out about national horse competitions, register in these events and in time, see the results. For each event, you can see:
- start and closing dates of the event
- the discipline/s covered
- the location of the show
You can even view location details on GoogleMaps, check out the schedule and enter yourself into the event. Wonderful! So if you’re a rider in New Zealand, be sure to make use of this incredible resource! And if you’re located elsewhere, why not do a search to see if there’s something similar you can utilise? And if there isn’t… maybe this is an area for someone to step in and create one 😉
“There is a lot of folklore about equestrian statues, especially the ones with riders on them. There is said to be a code in the number and placement of the horse’s hooves: …four legs in the air means that the sculptor was very, very clever. Five legs in the air means that there’s probably at least one other horse standing behind the horse you’re looking at; and the rider lying on the ground with his horse lying on top of him with all four legs in the air means that the rider was either a very incompetent horseman or owned a very bad-tempered horse.” ― Terry Pratchett
